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! \nThis month’s novel is Anthony Doerr’s Cloud Cuckoo Land. \nFrom the Pulitzer Prize–winning author of All the Light We Cannot See\, comes the instant New York Times bestseller that is a “wildly inventive\, a humane and uplifting book for adults that’s infused with the magic of childhood reading experiences” (The New York Times Book Review). \nAmong the most celebrated and beloved novels of 2021\, Anthony Doerr’s gorgeous third novel is a triumph of imagination and compassion\, a soaring story about children on the cusp of adulthood in worlds in peril\, who find resilience\, hope—and a book. In Cloud Cuckoo Land\, Doerr has created a magnificent tapestry of times and places that reflects our vast interconnectedness—with other species\, with each other\, with those who lived before us\, and with those who will be here after we’re gone. \nWhen you register you will be provided the meeting link to join the conversation.

Overwhelmed by an enormous backlog of court cases\, the government released 50\,000 perpetrators back to the very communities they helped to destroy. Without the hope of full justice\, Rwanda has turned to a new solution of reconciliation. Come experience through their eyes the journey from death to life through forgiveness. \n(District of Columbia: Image Bearer Films\, 2010)\, 54 minutes \nThe discussion of the film will be led by Claude Taylor\, Director For Academic Transition And Inclusion.

As individuals how do we adapt to sustain long-term love and relationships? Where do sexuality and gender intersect? And how do families stay together\, when external forces are pulling them apart? \n \n  \nThis event is being held in conjunction with the juried gallery exhibition Aging and the Lived Experiences of Transgender and Gender Nonconforming (T/GNC) Older Adults: Narratives through Art on view in the Pollak Gallery January 23 – March 11.

Rather than be torn in half\, Anu must decide which side he falls upon in this complex tale of tolerance\, diversity\, and the practice of Islam in a crises-ridden world. \nThe discussion of the film will be led by Dr. Rekha Datta\, Professor in the department of Political Science and Sociology and Dr. Golam M.

Directed with wit and vigor by Tony Gatlif (Latcho Drom)\, Korkoro unearths the hidden story of the Romany people’s joys and struggles during the war. \nAlong the way a young French orphan named Claude (Mathias Laliberté) joins their ranks\, and is initiated into their culture. Under the tutelage of acrobatic wild man Taloche (James Thiérrée)\, Claude learns to love his adoptive family. As the Vichy government passes a law restricting their movement\, they avoid capture with the help of a local mayor and schoolteacher\, who also have ties to the Resistance. But the longer they avoid arrest\, the more dangerous their lives become. \nWith free-spirited humor and soaring emotion\, Korkoro is a revelatory movie about a little known chapter in WWII history. The phenomenal performances\, especially Thiérrée’s intensely physical efforts\, truly make history come alive. \nThe discussion of the film will be led by Christopher DeRosa\, Associate Professor in the department of History and Anthropology and Mihaela Moscaliuc\, Associate Professor in the department of English URL:https://www.monmouth.edu/events/event/korkoro/ LOCATION:Pollak Theatre CATEGORIES:Arts at Monmouth,Film,Free ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://www.monmouth.edu/events/wp-content/uploads/sites/19/2022/08/korkoro_header.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20220719T193000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20220719T213000 DTSTAMP:20260407T050031 CREATED:20220512T181025Z LAST-MODIFIED:20221004T181953Z UID:40810111286-1658259000-1658266200@www.monmouth.edu SUMMARY:Vladimir Nabokov's Lolita DESCRIPTION:Join us for Tuesday Night Book Club!

Due to distanced seating in the theatre\, capacity is limited and walk-ups might not be able to be accommodated. \nFlorence in the era of the powerhouse Italian statesman\, politician and patron Lorenzo de’ Medici\, was the heart of Renaissance art and culture. One artist\, above all others\, was able to evoke the lights and shadows of this unforgettable era: Sandro Botticelli (1445-1510). Through Botticelli: Florence and the Medici\, we re-live Florence and all its art workshops through Botticelli’s life\, his collaborations\, his challenges and successes. From the outset of Botticelli’s career under the wing of the Medici family\, he established himself as the inventor of an ideal beauty\, seen in works such as The Allegory of Spring and the Birth of Venus. The death of Lorenzo de Medici marked the downward spiral of the Florentine master\, who was destined to be forgotten for over three centuries\, but the rediscovery of Botticelli by the Pre-Raphaelites reignited a genuine fascination with the artist and sparked a Botticelli-mania which continues to this day. \nRuntime: 90 mins approx.
