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.

SUMMARY:Producing the Beatles
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. 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.

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:Bring in Da Funk\, Part I
DESCRIPTION:Class Schedule: Thursdays – September 12 & 19 | 7:30 – 9:00 PM \n“On the one”—James Brown often defined funk as a groove\, emphasizing the first beat\, using the ‘one-two-three-four’ downbeat.

This two-session virtual course taught by Kit O’Toole will trace funk through its blues\, jazz\, soul\, New Orleans\, and R&B roots.
