SUMMARY:Nina Totenberg: Virtual Author Talk
DESCRIPTION:As part of the Library Speakers Consortium\, you are invited to a FREE intimate conversation with Nina Totenberg as she talks about her nearly fifty-year friendship with Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg and her book\, Dinners With Ruth: A Memoir on the Power of Friendships. \nDinners with Ruth is an extraordinary account of two women who paved the way for future generations by tearing down professional and legal barriers. It is also an intimate memoir of the power of friendships as women began to pry open career doors and transform the workplace. Ruth and Nina saw each other not only through personal joys but also illness\, loss\, and widowhood. They shared not only a love of opera\, but also of shopping\, as they instinctively understood that clothes were armor for women who wanted to be taken seriously in a workplace dominated by men. During Ruth’s last year\, they shared so many small dinners that Saturdays were “reserved for Ruth” in Nina’s house. Inspiring and revelatory\, Dinners with Ruth is a moving story of the joy and true meaning of friendship. \nRegister now: libraryc.org/tiltonlibrary/42965\nFunded by the Friends of Tilton Library

SUMMARY:Madeline Miller: Virtual Author Talk
DESCRIPTION: As part of the Library Speakers Consortium\, you’re invited to a fascinating exploratory conversation with Madeline Miller\, bestselling author of The Song of Achilles and Circe\, as she chats with us about her body of work and her process of retelling Greek classics into fresh\, modern epics in fiction. \nIn The Song of Achilles\, Achilles\, “the best of all the Greeks\,” son of the cruel sea goddess Thetis and the legendary king Peleus\, is strong\, swift\, and beautiful\, irresistible to all who meet him. Patroclus is an awkward young prince exiled from his homeland after an act of shocking violence. Brought together by chance\, they forge an inseparable bond despite risking the gods’ wrath. \nIn Circe\, to Helios\, god of the sun and mightiest of the Titans\, a daughter is born. But Circe is a strange child–neither powerful like her father nor viciously alluring like her mother. Turning to the world of mortals for companionship\, she discovers that she does possess power: the power of witchcraft\, which can transform rivals into monsters and menace the gods themselves. Circe must summon all her strength and choose\, once and for all\, whether she belongs with the gods she is born from or with the mortals she has come to love. \nRegister Now: libraryc.org/tiltonlibrary/42967\nFunded by The Friends of Tilton Library

SUMMARY:Power\, Love\, and Art with Xochitl Gonzalez Virtual Book Talk
DESCRIPTION:As part of the Library Speakers Consortium\, join us as we chat with award-winning and bestselling author Xochitl Gonzalez about her newest novel Anita de Monte Laughs Last. In 1985. Anita de Monte\, a rising star in the art world\, is found dead in New York City; her tragic death is the talk of the town. Until it isn’t. By 1998 Anita’s name had been all but forgotten―certainly by the time Raquel\, a third-year art history student was preparing her final thesis. On College Hill\, surrounded by privileged students whose futures are already paved out for them\, Raquel feels like an outsider. Students of color\, like her\, are the minority there\, and the pressure to work twice as hard for the same opportunities is no secret. But when Raquel becomes romantically involved with a well-connected older art student\, she finds herself unexpectedly rising up the social ranks. As she attempts to straddle both worlds\, she stumbles upon Anita’s story\, raising questions about the dynamics of her own relationship\, which eerily mirrors that of the forgotten artist. \nhttps://libraryc.org/tiltonlibrary/45431\nFunded by The Friends of Tilton Library

She has a lot to be proud of with her keen intelligence\, impeccable taste\, and the L.A. real estate empire she’s built. But when she finds herself trapped 300 miles north of the city\, convalescing in a sleepy coastal town with her adult daughter Beth and teenage granddaughter Jack\, Lana is stuck counting otters instead of square footage—and hoping that boredom won’t kill her before the cancer does. \nIn a turn of events\, when Jack happens upon a dead body while kayaking she quickly becomes a suspect in the homicide investigation\, and the Rubicon women are thrown into chaos. Beth thinks Lana should focus on recovery\, but Lana has a better idea. She’ll pull on her wig\, find the true murderer\, protect her family\, and prove she still has power. With Jack and Beth’s help\, Lana uncovers a web of lies\, family vendettas\, and land disputes lurking beneath the surface of a community populated by folksy conservationists and wealthy ranchers.

SUMMARY:Virtual Book Talk with Yellowface Author R.F. Kuang
DESCRIPTION:As part of the Library Speakers Consortium\, join the author as she chats with us about her New York Times bestselling novel\, Yellowface. Yellowface grapples with questions of diversity\, racism\, and cultural appropriation\, as well as the terrifying alienation of social media. \nIn Yellowface\, Authors June Hayward and Athena Liu were supposed to be twin rising stars. But Athena’s a literary darling. June Hayward is literally nobody. Who wants stories about basic white girls\, June thinks. \nSo when June witnesses Athena’s death in a freak accident\, she acts on impulse: she steals Athena’s just-finished masterpiece\, an experimental novel about the unsung contributions of Chinese laborers during World War I. \nSo what if June edits Athena’s novel and sends it to her agent as her own work? So what if she lets her new publisher rebrand her as Juniper Song—complete with an ambiguously ethnic author photo? Doesn’t this piece of history deserve to be told\, whoever the teller? That’s what June claims\, and the New York Times bestseller list seems to agree. \nBut June can’t get away from Athena’s shadow\, and emerging evidence threatens to bring June’s (stolen) success down around her. As June races to protect her secret\, she discovers exactly how far she will go to keep what she thinks she deserves. \nWhite lies\, dark humor\, and deadly consequences await within the pages of Yellowface. With its totally immersive first-person voice\, Kuang’s novel is timely\, razor-sharp\, and eminently readable. Register to join the conversation! \nAbout the Author: Rebecca F. Kuang is the award-winning\, #1 New York Times bestselling author of the Poppy War trilogy\, Babel: An Arcane History\, and Yellowface. A Marshall Scholar\, she has an MPhil in Chinese Studies from Cambridge and an MSc in Contemporary Chinese Studies from Oxford; she is now pursuing a PhD in East Asian Languages and Literatures at Yale\, where she studies diaspora\, contemporary Chinese literature\, and Asian American literature. \nhttps://libraryc.org/tiltonlibrary/47584 \nFunded by The Friends of Tilton Library
