SUMMARY:Carol Barrios (Mahala) Weekend Book Signing
DESCRIPTION:Bank Square Books presents a weekend book signing with Carol Barrios for her book Mahala. \nAbout the Book \nHistorical fiction meets family saga in this sweeping Caribbean tale perfect for fans of Jamaica Kincaid\, Wide Sargasso Sea\, and The Island of Missing Trees. \nSt. Vincent\, British West Indies\, 1900 \nA woman born before her time\, Mahala was always a maverick. Adopted by her mother’s best friend and raised next door to her biological siblings\, she grows up with the generational challenges of not one\, but two families of Indian descent navigating colonial Caribbean society. From a young age\, Mahala knows the plan all four parents have set for her future: leave school\, marry well\, run a household\, plan her own future daughters’ weddings. But she believes fiercely there must be more to life than this Caribbean island and its restrictive customs. \nSeeking to control her own destiny\, Mahala must decide if fleeing her homeland and alienating herself from her family is worth the freedom she most desperately wants. If she remains\, she will need to agree to a marriage—and a man—arranged by her family and abandon her dream of independence. If she goes\, escaping to New York and its gleaming opportunities\, her innate intelligence and confidence may have to be enough for her to build the life she’s always dreamed of—a life of integrity\, strength\, and love of her own choosing. \nMahala is a page-turning\, coming-of-age story about women’s rights\, family expectations\, and the courage to forge your own path in a world determined to limit your choices. \nAbout the Author \nCarol Marques Barrios is a graduate of the University of Connecticut\, where she earned both her Bachelor of Science in marketing and Master of Business Administration. She lives with her husband and three daughters in Fairfield\, Connecticut. Mahala is her first novel. \nRSVP

SUMMARY:Writers Group
DESCRIPTION:We welcome local writers for free-write sessions at 4 p.m.\, Mondays\, in the Ames Room. The sessions are open to anyone who feels like writing. \nLoosely based on the notion of stream-of-consciousness writing described by Natalie Goldberg in “Writing Down the Bones\,” the sessions are broken into three parts of 5 minutes\, 10 minutes\, and 5 minutes. A writer selects a topic from subjects previously placed in a box. For the first 5 minutes\, write whatever comes to mind. Don’t stop to correct\, just record whatever pops into your head\, even if it’s something like\, “I have no idea what to write…” Each person shares what they’ve written\, free of commentary or criticism. \nThen\, for 10 minutes\, writers write what comes to mind\, perhaps an idea or a subject someone had just read aloud or something you wrote in the first 5 minutes will lead to a focus. The group shares again. Writers write for another 5 minutes and then share. \nYou’ll be surprised at the places you’ll go with the topics in these sessions. They give you an opportunity to express yourself\, they’re therapeutic\, and they often lead to a lot to talk about after putting your pens down.

SUMMARY:Mark Joseph Stelzner (Growth Machines) Author Talk and Signing
DESCRIPTION:Bank Square Books presents an author talk and signing with Mark Joseph Stelzner for his book\, Growth Machines. \nRSVP \nAbout the Book \nA provocative look at America’s compulsion to consume and our obsession’s surprising—and strange—origins. \nIn a capitalist society\, people sell their labor to purchase staples like food\, shelter\, and anxiety medication. That’s the equation of everyday economic life that we’ve always been told is true. Except\, is it really that simple anymore? No matter how unmaterialistic you may think you are\, odds are that deep within is a drive to consume because it feels good: books you won’t read\, clothes you won’t like and might wear even less\, a replacement phone whose novelty runs out as quickly as its upgrade hits the market. But what drives this impulse? \nIn Growth Machines\, Mark Joseph Stelzner shows how today’s consumers are now programmed by a US economy intent on infinite growth to work for goods they’ve been convinced they need and conditioned to want. Stelzner establishes the gaps between economic thinking and economic reality\, arguing that consumption is no longer just a reflection of needs\, but rather\, it reflects a need for transaction—in many cases\, a treat we seek out because it feels good. We work not only to be able to consume the essentials for living\, but also to consume for consumption’s sake. Yet such consumption doesn’t make us happier. Stelzner traces this strange nature of consumption to an environmental source: an economy that demands growth. To keep its economy pumping\, the US must keep Americans consuming. This makes Stelzner’s book an uncomfortable reflection on how we internalize our economy. To be an American is to consume; to consume is what makes America. \nAbout the Author \nMark Joseph Stelzner is associate professor of economics at Connecticut College. He has published in the Cambridge Journal of Economics\, The Review of Black Political Economy\, and the Journal of Happiness Studies\, and his work has been featured in The Economist and The Nation.
