SUMMARY:James Joyce\, A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man
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 A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man by James Joyce. \nLike much of James Joyce’s work\, A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man is a fictional re-creation of the Irish writer’s own life and early environment. The experiences of the novel’s young hero\, Stephen Dedalus\, unfold in astonishingly vivid scenes that seem freshly recalled from life and provide a powerful portrait of the coming of age of a young man of unusual intelligence\, sensitivity\, and character. \nThe interest of the novel is deepened by Joyce’s telling portrayals of an Irish upbringing and schooling\, the Catholic Church and its priesthood\, Parnell and Irish politics\, encounters with the conflicting roles of art and morality (problems that would follow Joyce throughout his life)\, sexual experimentation and its aftermath\, and the decision to leave Ireland. \nRich in details that offer vital insights into Joyce’s art\, this masterpiece of semiautobiographical fiction remains essential reading in any program of study in modern literature.

Her husband has left her\, and her professional life is going nowhere. Regardless of why Evelyn has selected her to write her biography\, Monique is determined to use this opportunity to jumpstart her career. Summoned to Evelyn’s luxurious apartment\, Monique listens in fascination as the actress tells her story. From making her way to Los Angeles in the 1950s to her decision to leave show business in the ‘80s\, and\, of course\, the seven husbands along the way\, Evelyn unspools a tale of ruthless ambition\, unexpected friendship\, and a great forbidden love.

SUMMARY:Toni Morrison\, Sula
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 Sula by Toni Morrison. \nChloe Anthony Wofford Morrison\, known as Toni Morrison\, was an American novelist and editor. Her first novel\, The Bluest Eye\, was published in 1970. The critically acclaimed Song of Solomon (1977) brought her national attention and won the National Book Critics Circle Award. In 1988\, Morrison won the Pulitzer Prize for Beloved (1987); she was awarded the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1993.  Morrison became the first black female editor for fiction at Random House in New York City in the late 1960s. She developed her own reputation as an author in the 1970s and ’80s. Her novel Beloved was made into a film in 1998. Morrison’s works are praised for addressing the harsh consequences of racism in the United States and the Black American experience. The National Endowment for the Humanities selected Morrison for the Jefferson Lecture\, the U.S. federal government’s highest honor for achievement in the humanities\, in 1996. She was honored with the National Book Foundation’s Medal of Distinguished Contribution to American Letters the same year. President Barack Obama presented her with the Presidential Medal of Freedom on May 29\, 2012. She received the PEN/Saul Bellow Award for Achievement in American Fiction in 2016. Morrison was inducted into the National Women’s Hall of Fame in 2020. \nSula and Nel are two young black girls: clever and poor. They grow up together sharing their secrets\, dreams and happiness. Then Sula breaks free from their small-town community in the uplands of Ohio to roam the cities of America. When she returns ten years later much has changed. Including Nel\, who now has a husband and three children. The friendship between the two women becomes strained and the whole town grows wary as Sula continues in her wayward\, vagabond and uncompromising ways.

SUMMARY:Truman Capote\, In Cold Blood
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 In Cold Blood by Truman Capote. \nTruman Capote was a celebrated American writer known for his literary classics\, including Breakfast at Tiffany’s (1958) and In Cold Blood (1966)\, which he described as a “non-fiction novel.” His works have inspired over 20 films and television adaptations. Born Truman Streckfus Persons in 1924\, he spent his early childhood in Alabama before moving to New York City\, where he was adopted by his stepfather and took the Capote name. He began his career as a copy boy at The New Yorker and gained recognition with his first novel\, Other Voices\, Other Rooms (1948). Capote’s writing spanned fiction and journalism\, with In Cold Blood earning widespread acclaim. \nOn November 15\, 1959\, in the small town of Holcomb\, Kansas\, four members of the Clutter family were savagely murdered by blasts from a shotgun held a few inches from their faces. There was no apparent motive for the crime\, and there were almost no clues.  As Truman Capote reconstructs the murder and the investigation that led to the capture\, trial\, and execution of the killers\, he generates both mesmerizing suspense and astonishing empathy. In Cold Blood is a work that transcends its moment\, yielding poignant insights into the nature of American violence.

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:Yevgeny Zamyatin\, We
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 We by Yevgeny Zamyatin. \nYevgeny Zamyatin  was a Russian novelist\, playwright\, short story writer\, and essayist\, whose famous anti-utopia (1924\, We) prefigured Aldous Huxley’s Brave New World (1932)\, and inspired George Orwell’s 1984 (1949). The book was considered a “malicious slander on socialism” in the Soviet Union\, and it was not until 1988 when Zamyatin was rehabilitated. In the English-speaking world We has appeared in several translations. \nYevgeny Zamyatin’s We is a powerfully inventive vision that has influenced writers from George Orwell to Ayn Rand. In a glass-enclosed city of absolute straight lines\, ruled over by the all-powerful ‘Benefactor’\, the citizens of the totalitarian society of OneState live out lives devoid of passion and creativity – until D-503\, a mathematician who dreams in numbers\, makes a discovery: he has an individual soul. Set in the twenty-sixth century AD\, We is the classic dystopian novel and was the forerunner of works such as George Orwell’s 1984 and Aldous Huxley’s Brave New World. It was suppressed for many years in Russia and remains a resounding cry for individual freedom\, yet is also a powerful\, exciting and vivid work of science fiction. Clarence Brown’s brilliant translation is based on the corrected text of the novel\, first published in Russia in 1988 after more than sixty years’ suppression.

SUMMARY:Hilary Mantel\, Wolf Hall
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 Wolf Hall by Hilary Mantel. \nHilary Mantel was the bestselling author of many novels including Wolf Hall\, which won the Man Booker Prize and the National Book Critics Circle Award for fiction. Bring Up the Bodies\, Book Two of the Wolf Hall Trilogy\, was also awarded the Man Booker Prize and the Costa Book Award. She also wrote A Change of Climate\, A Place of Greater Safety\, Eight Months on Ghazzah Street\, An Experiment in Love\, The Giant\, O’Brien\, Fludd\, Beyond Black\, Every Day Is Mother’s Day\, Vacant Possession\, and a memoir\, Giving Up the Ghost. Mantel was the winner of the Hawthornden Prize\, and her reviews and essays have appeared in The New York Times\, The New York Review of Books\, and the London Review of Books. \nEngland in the 1520s is a heartbeat from disaster. If the king dies without a male heir\, the country could be destroyed by civil war. Henry VIII wants to annul his marriage of twenty years and marry Anne Boleyn. The pope and most of Europe opposes him. Into this impasse steps Thomas Cromwell: a wholly original man\, a charmer and a bully\, both idealist and opportunist\, astute in reading people\, and implacable in his ambition. But Henry is volatile: one day tender\, one day murderous. Cromwell helps him break the opposition\, but what will be the price of his triumph?

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: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: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:Louisa May Alcott\, Little Women
DESCRIPTION:Join us for Tuesday Night Book Club! Hosted by Monmouth University’s Ken Womack. This month’s novel is Louisa May Alcott\, Little Women. \nNominated as one of America’s best-loved novels by PBS’s The Great American Read \nIt is no surprise that Little Women\, the adored classic of four devoted sisters\, was loosely based on Louisa May Alcott’s own life. In fact\, Alcott drew from her own personality to create a heroine unlike any seen before: Jo\, willful\, headstrong\, and undoubtedly the backbone of the March family. Follow the sisters from innocent adolescence to sage adulthood\, with all the joy and sorrow of life in between\, and fall in love with them and this endearing story. Praised by Madeleine Stern as “a book on the American home\, and hence universal in its appeal\,” Little Women has been an avidly read tale for generations. \nWhen you register you will be provided the meeting link to join the conversation.

DESCRIPTION:Class Schedule: Thursdays – March 6 & 13 | 7:30 – 9:00 PM \nBased on his acclaimed podcast\, Producing the Beatles\, Jason Kruppa explores the music of the Fab Four from the perspective of the one person whose point of view has never been properly and thoroughly examined: their producer\, George Martin.

SUMMARY:The 1619 Project
DESCRIPTION:Join us for Tuesday Night Book Club! Hosted by Monmouth University’s Ken Womack. This month’s novel is The 1619 Project. \nA dramatic expansion of a groundbreaking work of journalism\, The 1619 Project: A New American Origin Story offers a profoundly revealing vision of the American past and present. \nThe New York Times Magazine‘s award-winning “1619 Project” issue reframed our understanding of American history by placing slavery and its continuing legacy at the center of our national narrative. This new book substantially expands on that work\, weaving together eighteen essays that explore the legacy of slavery in present-day America with thirty-six poems and works of fiction that illuminate key moments of oppression\, struggle\, and resistance. The essays show how the inheritance of 1619 reaches into every part of contemporary American society\, from politics\, music\, diet\, traffic\, and citizenship to capitalism\, religion\, and our democracy itself. \nWhen you register you will be provided the meeting link to join the conversation.

SUMMARY:Producing the Beatles
DESCRIPTION:Based on his acclaimed podcast\, Producing the Beatles\, Jason Kruppa explores the music of the Fab Four from the perspective of the one person whose point of view has never been properly and thoroughly examined: their producer\, George Martin. Using innovative techniques to break down their recordings\, we’ll discover how the Beatles went from learning their way around the studio to becoming masters of the art of recording\, with their producer working side by side with them each step of the way. And finally\, with re-recordings and detailed recreations of Martin’s orchestral scores that allow us to hear individual instrument parts\,\, we’ll learn how his arrangements enhanced and shaped the Beatles’ music. \nZoom Link will be provided upon registration.
