SUMMARY:Translation Conversation
DESCRIPTION:Book reading and conversation. Damion Searls presents his translation of A Shining by Jon Fosse\, in conversation with Merve Emre. In Fosse’s first novel since his critically acclaimed Septology\, a man starts driving without knowing where he is going. He alternates between turning right and left\, and ultimately finds himself stuck at the end of a forest road. It soon grows dark and begins to snow. But instead of searching for help\, he ventures\, foolishly\, into the dark forest. Inevitably the man gets lost\, and as he grows cold and tired\, he encounters a glowing being amid the obscurity. Strange\, haunting and dreamlike\, A Shining is the latest work of fiction by National Book Award-finalist Jon Fosse\, “the Beckett of the twenty-first century” (Le Monde).

SUMMARY:From the Big Apple to the West Lake: A New Yorker’s Encounter with China’s Hidden Gem Hangzhou
DESCRIPTION:In China\, the city of Hangzhou occupies its own special place in the country’s history and culture\, which persists to be one of the nation’s most cherished cities and among its most popular tourist destinations.

Home to a million people at a time when London and Paris each barely reached 80\,000\, it was described by Marco Polo as “the greatest city which may be found in this world.” Stephen Koss\, a gifted storyteller and New Yorker who fell in love with Chinese culture and “disappears” to China regularly\, is bringing to us his new book By the Hills Embraced: A Social and Cultural History of Hangzhou\, China

SUMMARY:Spring Awakening
DESCRIPTION:First performed under heavy censorship in Germany in 1906\, Spring Awakening closed after one night in New York in 1917 amid public outrage and charges of obscenity. The play’s content was radical indeed: teenage sex\, suicide\, abortion\, masturbation\, sadomasochism. The story traces the dawning sexual awareness of four teenagers\, Melchior\, Moritz\, Wendla\, and Hansy\, who\, in their painfully funny contradictions—they are at once too innocent and not remotely innocent at all—remain fresh and unsettling even in our own sex-saturated culture.

SUMMARY:Architecture for Animals
DESCRIPTION:Animals are skillful architects—from beehives to birds’ nests\, animals create spaces best fit for their needs. But now\, they’re moving into the big city! We will dive into the relationship between architects and their clients\, as kids choose their favorite animal and design an apartment based on its needs! Does a giraffe need an apartment with tall ceilings? Kids will use their imaginations to design homes for animal families (like an urban Noah’s Arc!) while considering accessibility\, health\, and views. Recommended for ages 4-8.

SUMMARY:New York’s Culper Spy Ring
DESCRIPTION:In this presentation\, historian and author Bill Bleyer will illuminate the true tale of the Culper Spy Ring\, a covert operation that provided critical support to George Washington’s Continental Army during the American Revolution. In the quest for independence\, George Washington recognized the immense value of enemy intelligence circulating through the streets of Lower Manhattan. He enlisted Major Benjamin Tallmadge\, a native of Long Island\, to spearhead an intelligence network that history remembers as the Culper Spy Ring. Drawing from his recent book\, George Washington’s Long Island Spy Ring: A History and Tour Guide\, Bleyer will sift through the myths and realities\, showcasing the ingenious workings of this indispensable covert network that ultimately played a pivotal role in securing victory for the Patriots. Over the centuries\, numerous legends have emerged regarding the Long Island-based Culper Spy Ring. These include stories about Anna Strong’s clothesline\, the secret passage of intelligence across the Long Island Sound\, and various assumptions about the methods employed by the spies. Join this program to unravel the truth behind these legends and gain a deep understanding of the network’s actual operations.
