SUMMARY:Mark Haddon\, The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time
DESCRIPTION:Join us for Tuesday Night Book Club! Hosted by Monmouth University’s Ken Womack\, each month we’ll explore a different novel. All you have to do is Zoom in and join the discussion! This week’s book is The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time. \nNATIONAL BESTSELLER • A modern classic—both poignant and funny—about a boy with autism who sets out to solve the murder of a neighbor’s dog and discovers unexpected truths about himself and the world.\n\n“Disorienting and reorienting the reader to devastating effect…. Suspenseful and harrowing.” —The New York Times Book Review\n\nChristopher John Francis Boone knows all the countries of the world and their capitals and every prime number up to 7\,057. He relates well to animals but has no understanding of human emotions. He cannot stand to be touched. And he detests the color yellow. This improbable story of Christopher’s quest to investigate the suspicious death of a neighborhood dog makes for one of the most captivating\, unusual\, and widely heralded novels in recent years.

SUMMARY:John Irving\, The World According to Garp
DESCRIPTION:Join us for Tuesday Night Book Club! Hosted by Monmouth University’s Ken Womack\, each month we’ll explore a different novel. All you have to do is Zoom in and join the discussion! This weeks book is The World According to Gary by John Irving \nNew York Times bestseller — 20th anniversary edition with a new afterword from the author — “A wonderful novel\, full of energy and art\, at once funny and horrifying and heartbreaking.”- The Washington Post\n\nThis is the life and times of T. S. Garp\, the bastard son of Jenny Fields–a feminist leader ahead of her times.  This is the life and death of a famous mother and her almost-famous son; theirs is a world of sexual extremes–even of sexual assassinations.  It is a novel rich with “lunacy and sorrow”; yet the dark\, violent events of the story do not undermine a comedy both ribald and robust.  In more than thirty languages\, in more than forty countries– with more than ten million copies in print–this novel provides almost cheerful\, even hilarious evidence of its famous last line: “In the world according to Garp\, we are all terminal cases.” \nPraise for The World According to Garp \n“John Irving\, it is abundantly clear\, is a true artist.” – Los Angeles Times \n“A brilliant panoply of current attitudes toward sex\, marriage and parenthood\, the feminist movement and – above all – the concept of delineated sexual roles… Irving’s characters will stay alive for years to come.” – Chicago Tribune \n“A social tragi-comedy of such velocity that it reads rather like a domestic sequel to Catch-22.” – The Observer (London) \n“A large talent announces itself on practically every page.” – The Book-of-the-Month Club News

SUMMARY:EOS Encore - Michelangelo: Love & Death
DESCRIPTION:The spectacular sculptures and paintings of Michelangelo seem so familiar to us\, but what do we really know about this Renaissance giant? Michelangelo’s genius is evident in everything he touched. Beautiful and diverse works such as the towering statue of David\, the moving Pietà in the Papal Basilica of St. Peter and his tour-de-force\, the Sistine Chapel ceiling\, still leave us breathless today. \nSpanning his 88 years\, Michelangelo – Love and Death takes a cinematic journey through the print and drawing rooms of Europe through the great chapels and museums of Florence\, Rome and the Vatican to seek out a deeper understanding of this legendary figure’s tempestuous life\, his relationship with his contemporaries and his incredible legacy. \nThrough expert commentary\, stunning visuals and Michelangelo’s own words\, this film takes a fresh look at a master artist whose life and genius are celebrated in every mark he made. Returning to cinemas in 2025 to celebrate this iconic artist’s 550th birthday. \nSculptor\, painter\, architect\, poet\, genius – discover why Michelangelo is without a doubt one of the greatest artists of all time.

SUMMARY:Salome
DESCRIPTION:Music Director Yannick Nézet-Séguin conducts his first Met performances of Strauss’s white-hot one-act tragedy\, which receives its first new production at the company in 20 years. Claus Guth\, one of Europe’s leading opera directors\, gives the biblical story—already filtered through the beautiful and strange imagination of Oscar Wilde’s play—a psychologically perceptive\, Victorian-era setting rich in symbolism and subtle shades of darkness and light. Headlining the new staging is soprano Elza van den Heever as the abused and unhinged antiheroine\, who demands the head of Jochanaan\, sung by celebrated baritone Peter Mattei. Tenor Gerhard Siegel is Salome’s lecherous stepfather\, King Herod\, with mezzo-soprano Michelle DeYoung as his wife\, Herodias\, and tenor Piotr Buszewski as Narraboth. This live cinema transmission is part of the Met’s award-winning Live in HD series\, bringing opera to movie theaters across the globe.

SUMMARY:Hernan Diaz\, Trust
DESCRIPTION:Join us for Tuesday Night Book Club! Hosted by Monmouth University’s Ken Womack. This month’s novel is Hernan Diaz’s Trust. \nWINNER OF THE PULITZER PRIZE FOR FICTION\nA NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER \nEven through the roar and effervescence of the 1920s\, everyone in New York has heard of Benjamin and Helen Rask. He is a legendary Wall Street tycoon; she is the daughter of eccentric aristocrats. Together\, they have risen to the very top of a world of seemingly endless wealth—all as a decade of excess and speculation draws to an end. But at what cost have they acquired their immense fortune? This is the mystery at the center of Bonds\, a successful 1937 novel that all of New York seems to have read. Yet there are other versions of this tale of privilege and deceit. \nHernan Diaz’s TRUST elegantly puts these competing narratives into conversation with one another—and in tension with the perspective of one woman bent on disentangling fact from fiction. The result is a novel that spans over a century and becomes more exhilarating with each new revelation. \nWhen you register you will be provided the meeting link to join the conversation.

SUMMARY:Pysanky: Learn the Art of Ukrainian Egg Decorating
DESCRIPTION:Class Schedule: Tuesday\, April 15 | 6 – 8:30 PM\n\n\nCome celebrate the spring at Monmouth University with this unique opportunity to learn the seasonal ancient art known as Pysanky. Pysanky\, also known as Ukrainian eggs\, is an ancient folk tradition that has been passed down for thousands of years. This meditative and communal experience is unlike any other art process and for many this workshop marks the beginning of a spring time family tradition that can be passed on and enjoyed for years to come. This tutorial will cover the history and traditions surrounding Pysanky\, a demonstration\, and independent practice session. The instructor will provide a variety of eggs\, dyes\, and tools. Participants will turn real eggs into works of art using a wax resist method similar to batik. A great deal of patience and concentration is required to complete a single egg\, but it is very rewarding to reveal your hard work when the wax layers are taken off. In-person attendance will be extremely limited.\n\nNo prerequisite skills are required. Please bring a container or old egg carton to take home your creation. Ages 18+

SUMMARY:Jean Rhys\, Wide Sargasso Sea
DESCRIPTION:Join us for Tuesday Night Book Club! Hosted by Monmouth University’s Ken Womack. This month’s novel is Jean Rhys’s Wide Sargasso Sea. \nWide Sargasso Sea\, a masterpiece of modern fiction\, was Jean Rhys’s return to the literary center stage. She had a startling early career and was known for her extraordinary prose and haunting women characters. With Wide Sargasso Sea\, her last and best-selling novel\, she ingeniously brings into light one of fiction’s most fascinating characters: the madwoman in the attic from Charlotte Brontë’s Jane Eyre. This mesmerizing work introduces us to Antoinette Cosway\, a sensual and protected young woman who is sold into marriage to the prideful Mr. Rochester. Rhys portrays Cosway amidst a society so driven by hatred\, so skewed in its sexual relations\, that it can literally drive a woman out of her mind. \nWhen you register you will be provided the meeting link to join the conversation.

SUMMARY:Exhibition on Screen - Dawn Of Impressionism\,  Paris 1874
DESCRIPTION:The Impressionists are the most popular group in art history – millions flock every year to marvel at their masterpieces. But\, to begin with\, they were scorned\, penniless outsiders. 1874 was the year that changed everything; the first Impressionists\, “hungry for independence”\, broke the mould by holding their own exhibition outside official channels. Impressionism was born and the art world was changed forever. \nWhat led to that first groundbreaking show 150 years ago? Who were the maverick personalities that wielded their brushes in such a radical and provocative way? The spectacular Musée d’Orsay exhibition brings fresh eyes to this extraordinary tale of passion and rebellion. The story is told not by historians and curators but in the words of those who witnessed the dawn of Impressionism: the artists\, press and people of Paris\, 1874. See the show that changed everything on the big screen. \nMade in close collaboration with the Musee d’Orsay and National Gallery of Art\, Washington D.C.

SUMMARY:Saint Omer
DESCRIPTION:Rama\, a literature professor and novelist\, travels from Paris to Saint-Omer to observe the trial of Laurence Coly and write about the case. Coly is a student and Senegalese immigrant accused of leaving her 15-month-old daughter on a beach to be swept away by the tide in Berck. Rama\, who is four-months pregnant and\, like Coly\, is in a mixed-race relationship and has a complex relationship with her own Senegalese immigrant mother\, feels a personal connection to Coly. She plans to write a modern day retelling of the Greek Medea myth about the case. As she learns more about Coly’s life and the isolation Coly experienced from her family and society while living in France\, Rama becomes increasingly anxious about her own life and pregnancy. \nThere will be a post screening Q&A hosted by Marina Vujnovic with special guest speaker Prof. Julius Adekunle.
