SUMMARY:Disco Inferno!\, Part II
DESCRIPTION:Class Schedule: December 11\, 16\, & 18\, 2025 | 7:30 – 9:00 PM \nBy the late 1970s\, disco dominated the airwaves and conquered film\, television\, advertising\, and fashion. Its ubiquity\, however\, led to an inevitable backlash in the form of Chicago’s infamous “Disco Demolition Night” event at Comiskey Park.  Did that signal the end of the genre?  Hardly—it merely changed labels\, transforming its sound and becoming “House” or “Electronic Dance Music (EDM).”  In the present day\, artists such as Dua Lipa\, Beyoncé\, and Sabrina Carpenter have incorporated the sound into their own music. \n\n\nPart two of Disco Inferno continues the journey through the history of disco\, moving from the late 1970s peak into House music and through the present day.  How did disco evolve through the 1970s?  How did the genre alter music and popular culture?  Why has the music endured?  All of these questions will be explored through multimedia presentations and class discussions.  Students will learn about the peak of disco and its longevity\, key artists\, and how the genre evolved into House and EDM.

SUMMARY:Salman Rushdie\, Midnight's Children
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 Midnight’s Children by Salman Rushdie. \nSir Salman Rushdie is an Indian-born British-American novelist known for blending magic realism with historical fiction\, often exploring East-West cultural themes. His acclaimed novel Midnight’s Children (1981) won the Booker Prize and was twice named the best of all Booker winners. His 1988 novel The Satanic Verses led to global controversy\, a fatwa calling for his death\, and multiple violent attacks\, including a 2022 stabbing in New York. \nRushdie has received numerous honors\, including a knighthood in 2007 and election to the American Academy of Arts and Letters. He has lived in the U.S. since 2000 and taught at NYU and Emory. His 2012 memoir Joseph Anton recounts life under threat. In 2023\, Time named him one of the world’s 100 most influential people. \nSaleem Sinai is born at the stroke of midnight on August 15\, 1947\, the very moment of India’s independence. Greeted by fireworks displays\, cheering crowds\, and Prime Minister Nehru himself\, Saleem grows up to learn the ominous consequences of this coincidence. His every act is mirrored and magnified in events that sway the course of national affairs; his health and well-being are inextricably bound to those of his nation; his life is inseparable\, at times indistinguishable\, from the history of his country. Perhaps most remarkable are the telepathic powers linking him with India’s 1\,000 other “midnight’s children\,” all born in that initial hour and endowed with magical gifts. \nThis novel is at once a fascinating family saga and an astonishing evocation of a vast land and its people–a brilliant incarnation of the universal human comedy. Twenty-five years after its publication\, Midnight’ s Children stands apart as both an epochal work of fiction and a brilliant performance by one of the great literary voices of our time.

SUMMARY:Martin Amis\, The Zone of Interest
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 Zone of Interest by Martin Amis. \nMartin Amis was an English novelist\, essayist\, and short story writer. His works included the novels Money\, London Fields and The Information.  The Guardian writes that “all his critics have noted what Kingsley Amis [his father] complained of as a ‘terrible compulsive vividness in his style… that constant demonstrating of his command of English’; and it’s true that the Amis-ness of Amis will be recognisable in any piece before he reaches his first full stop.” Amis’s raw material is what he sees as the absurdity of the postmodern condition with its grotesque caricatures. He has thus sometimes been portrayed as the undisputed master of what the New York Times has called “the new unpleasantness.” \nOnce upon a time there was a king\, and the king commissioned his favorite wizard to create a magic mirror. This mirror didn’t show you your reflection. It showed you your soul—it showed you who you really were.\nThe wizard couldn’t look at it without turning away. The king couldn’t look at it. The courtiers couldn’t look at it. A chestful of treasure was offered to anyone who could look at it for sixty seconds without turning away. And no one could. \nThe Zone of Interest is a love story with a violently unromantic setting. Can love survive the mirror? Can we even meet each other’s eye\, after we have seen who we really are? Powered by both wit and compassion\, and in characteristically vivid prose\, Martin Amis’s unforgettable new novel excavates the depths and contradictions of the human soul.

SUMMARY:Exhibition on Screen – Lucian Freud: A Self Portrait
DESCRIPTION:A MODERN BRITISH MASTER REVEALED \n“Looks at the drama of the paintings\, and goes into great detail in the company of very learned critics”   The Robert Elms Show\, BBC Radio London \nEXHIBITION ON SCREEN presents Lucian Freud: A Self Portrait. One of the most celebrated British painters of our time\, Lucian Freud is also one of very few 20th-century artists who portrayed themselves in self-portraiture with such consistency. \n“A well-rounded Study. Art lovers will enjoy the explication of Freud’s working methods\, the close-ups of cruddy brushes; while gossip-fanciers will lap up the ‘bad boy’ anecdotes.”  Total Film Magazine \nSpanning nearly seven decades his self-portraits give a fascinating insight into both his psyche and his development as a painter\, from his earliest portrait painted in 1939 to the final one executed 64 years later. This intense and unflinching gaze has produced a body of powerful\, figurative works that places him in the forefront of great British painting. Featuring fascinating interviews with past sitters\, friends and leading art experts such as Tim Marlow (Artistic Director\, Royal Academy of Arts\, London) and Martin Gayford (Art Critic and Writer)\, this intensely compelling documentary reveals the life’s work of a master which\, when seen together\, represents an engrossing study into the dynamic of ageing and the process of self-representation. \nDirected by David Bickerstaff \n  \n \nXKY&t=1s
