SUMMARY:Stephen Kurczy (The Quiet Zone) Author Talk and Q&A at Savoy Bookshop & Café
DESCRIPTION:Savoy Bookshop & Café presents an author talk and Q&A with Stephen Kurczy for the new book\, The Quiet Zone. \nThis event is free\, but registration is requested. \nAbout the Book\nA stunning portrait of an Appalachian community\, the people who call it home\, and the enduring human quest for quiet \nDeep in the Appalachian Mountains lies the last truly quiet town in America. Green Bank\, West Virginia\, is a place at once futuristic and old-fashioned: It’s home to the Green Bank Observatory\, where astronomers search the depths of the universe using the latest technology\, while schoolchildren go without WiFi or iPads. With a ban on all devices emanating radio frequencies that might interfere with the observatory’s telescopes\, Quiet Zone residents live a life free from constant digital connectivity. But a community that on the surface seems idyllic is a place of contradictions\, where the provincial meets the seemingly supernatural and quiet can serve as a cover for something darker. \nStephen Kurczy embedded in Green Bank\, making the residents of this small Appalachian village his neighbors. He shopped at the town’s general store\, attended church services\, went target shooting with a seven-year-old\, square-danced with the locals\, sampled the local moonshine. In The Quiet Zone\, he introduces us to an unforgettable cast of characters. There is a tech buster patrolling the area for illegal radio waves; “electrosensitives” who claim that WiFi is deadly; a sheriff’s department with a string of unsolved murder cases dating back decades; a camp of neo-Nazis plotting their resurgence from a nearby mountain hollow. Amongst them all are the ordinary citizens seeking a simpler way of living. Kurczy asks: Is a less connected life desirable? Is it even possible? \nThe Quiet Zone is a remarkable work of investigative journalism—at once a stirring ode to place\, a tautly-wound tale of mystery\, and a clarion call to reexamine the role technology plays in our lives. \nAbout Stephen Kurczy\nStephen Kurczy is an award-winning journalist whose work has appeared in The New York Times\, The New Yorker\, and The Christian Science Monitor\, among other outlets. He graduated from the Columbia University Graduate School of Journalism\, where he was a 2016-2017 Knight-Bagehot Fellow in Business and Economics Journalism. Kurczy has lived without a cell phone for over a decade.

SUMMARY:Gunilla Norris (Calling the Creatures: Poems) Author Talk and Q&A at Savoy Bookshop & Café
DESCRIPTION:Savoy Bookshop & Café presents an author talk and Q&A with Gunilla Norris for the new poetry collection\, Calling the Creatures! \nThis event is free\, but registration is requested. \nAbout the Book\nGunilla Norris has written a book that spans decades of her life. She invites us to wonder what calls us into recollection. It is always a mystery when an inner voice asks for attention. In a long life\, that call can be insistent and want a welcome for a vast array of experiences. Gunilla likens this to the calling of farm animals back to the barn after foraging all day which she witnessed in northern Sweden as a child. \nMeaningful experiences\, be they losses\, loves\, queries or epiphanies\, want sanctuary. If the doors of the heart are open\, the recollections can enter again\, come back home so to speak and be recognized as the poems of a life. \nAbout Gunilla Norris\nGunilla Norris’ parents were world travelers in the Swedish diplomatic corps and so she grew up essentially in three places: Argentina\, Sweden and the United States. As a child she was given a rich exposure to different languages and cultures. \nShe received her B.A. from Sarah Lawrence College and her M.S. from Bridgeport University in the field of human development. She is a mother and a grandmother. She has been a psychotherapist in private practice for more than fourty-five years and has felt privileged to accompany many people on their journeys to growth and healing. Her special love has been teaching meditation and leading contemplative workshops of many kinds. \nAs a writer Gunilla has published eleven children’s books\, three books of poetry and then books on spirituality including: Being Home\, Becoming Bread\, Inviting Silence\, A Mystic Garden\, Simple Ways and Sheltered in the Heart.

SUMMARY:Spencer Quinn (It's a Wonderful Woof) Author Talk and Q&A at Bank Square Books
DESCRIPTION:Bank Square Books presents an author talk and Q&A with Spencer Quinn for the latest book in the Chet & Bernie Mystery Series\, It’s a Wonderful Woof. \nThis event is free\, but registration is requested. \nAbout the Book\nSpencer Quinn’s It’s a Wonderful Woof presents a holiday adventure for Chet the dog\, “the most lovable narrator in crime fiction” (Boston Globe)\, and his human partner\, PI Bernie Little. \nHoliday time in the Valley\, and in the holiday spirit—despite the dismal shape of the finances at the Little Detective Agency—Bernie refers a potential client to Victor Klovsky\, a fellow private eye. It’s also true that the case—promising lots of online research but little action—doesn’t appeal to Bernie\, while it seems perfect for Victor\, who is not cut out for rough stuff. But Victor disappears in a rough-stuff way\, and when he doesn’t show up at his mom’s to light the Hanukkah candles\, she hires Chet and Bernie to find him. \nThey soon discover that Victor’s client has also vanished. The trail leads to the ruins of a mission called Nuestra Señora de los Saguaros\, dating back to the earliest Spanish explorers. Some very dangerous people are interested in the old mission. Does some dusty archive hold the secret of a previously unknown art treasure\, possibly buried for centuries? What does the Flight into Egypt—when Mary\, Joseph and the baby Jesus fled Herod—have to do with saguaros\, the Sonoran desert cactus? \nNo one is better than Chet at nosing out buried secrets\, but before he can\, he and Bernie are forced to take flight themselves\, chased through a Christmas Eve blizzard by a murderous foe who loves art all too much. \nAbout Spencer Quinn\nSpencer Quinn is the pen name for Peter Abrahams\, the Edgar-winning\, New York Times and USA Today bestselling author of the Chet and Bernie mystery series\, as well as the #1 New York Times bestselling Bowser and Birdie series for middle-grade readers. He lives on Cape Cod with his wife Diana and dog Pearl.

SUMMARY:Digital Program: On the Margins of a Movement: The Accidental Feminist
DESCRIPTION:One hundred years after the ratification of the 19th Amendment comes a reflective historical fiction novel with a compelling contemporary voice. \nDiscussions of the women’s suffrage movement largely center around the wealthy\, charismatic leaders. Theirs are the names we’re taught in school\, the ones we see in textbooks and documentaries. Yet\, when so few names are immortalized\, one must wonder who marched alongside these women but have since been forgotten. In The Accidental Suffragist\, Galia Gichon explores this pivotal time in history through the eyes of a struggling factory worker. Examining the impact of economic class revealed a hidden voice — a woman with different motivations for joining the fight\, someone with an awful lot on the line. \nGichon’s The Accidental Suffragist tells the story of Helen Fox\, a garment worker living in New York’s tenements. After surviving the historic Triangle Shirtwaist Factory Fire\, Helen becomes consumed by the suffrage movement\, propelled by the ways it could radically reshape her life. When her newfound activism puts her at odds with her husband and neighbors\, she has to decide whether to put family first\, or to risk everything in hopes of a better life. \n“Gichon reminds us of the grave sacrifices so many women made more than a century ago and the debt of gratitude we owe them today” -Alisyn Camerota\, CNN Anchor \nRegistration is required to attend this program. You will receive a Zoom invitation the morning of the program.
