SUMMARY:Virtual Author Talk: Adam Alter
DESCRIPTION:Register and view future Author Talks here: https://libraryc.org/willardlib \nJoin us as we chat with New York Times bestselling author Adam Alter about his new book Anatomy of a Breakthrough: How to Get Unstuck When It Matters Most.  \nAlmost everyone feels stuck in some way. Whether you’re muddling through a midlife crisis\, wrestling with writer’s block\, trapped in a thankless job\, or trying to remedy a fraying friendship\, the resulting emotion is usually a mix of anxiety\, uncertainty\, fear\, anger\, and numbness. But it doesn’t have to be this way. Anatomy of a Breakthrough is the roadmap we all need to escape our inertia and flourish in the face of friction. \nThe solution to becoming unstuck rests on a process that Alter calls a friction audit—a systematic procedure that uncovers why a person or organization is stuck and then suggests a path to progress. The friction audit states that people and organizations get unstuck when they overcome three sources of friction: HEART (unhelpful emotions); HEAD (unhelpful patterns of thought); and HABIT (unhelpful behaviors). \nArtfully weaving together scientific studies\, anecdotes\, and interviews\, Alter teaches us that getting stuck is a feature rather than a glitch on the road to thriving\, but with the right tweaks and corrections\, we can reach even our loftiest targets. \nAbout the Author: Adam Alter is a professor of marketing and the Stansky Teaching Excellence Faculty Fellow at New York University’s Stern School of Business. He also holds an affiliated professorship in social psychology at NYU’s psychology department. In 2020 he was voted professor of the year by the faculty and student body at NYU’s Stern School of Business and was among the Poets and Quants 40 Best Professors Under 40 in 2017. Alter is the New York Times bestselling author of two books: Drunk Tank Pink and Irresistible.

SUMMARY:Virtual Author Talk: Lidia Bastianich
DESCRIPTION:Register and view future Author Talks here: https://libraryc.org/willardlib \nYou’re invited to an intimate evening with award-winning television host and bestselling author Lidia Bastianich as she talks about her memoir My American Dream: A Life of Love\, Family\, and Food. \nBorn in Pula\, on the Istrian peninsula\, Lidia grew up surrounded by love and security\, learning the art of Italian cooking from her beloved grandmother. But when a communist regime annexed Istria\, Lidia’s family fled to Trieste\, where they spent two years in a refugee camp waiting for visas to enter the United States. When she finally arrived in New York\, Lidia soon began working in restaurants\, the first step leading to her becoming one of the most revered chefs and businesswomen in the country. Heartwarming\, deeply personal\, and powerfully inspiring\, My American Dream is the story of Lidia’s close-knit family and her dedication and endless passion for food. \nAs a special bonus (and pre-release!) Lidia will preview and chat about her newest cookbook Lidia’s From Our Family Table to Yours: More Than 100 Recipes Made With Love For All Occasions: A Cookbook. In this inviting\, deeply personal new cookbook\, she shares the dishes she cooks for those she loves the most. This is the first book Lidia has written since the death of her mother\, Nonna\, who was beloved not only by Lidia’s family but also by millions of cookbook and TV fans. With all the family stories and passed-down recipes\, in many ways\, this book can be seen as a tribute to Nonna. Bringing together more than a hundred delicious\, flavorful\, and easy-to-make Italian recipes\, From Our Family’s Table to Yours is a celebration of the dishes Lidia’s family turns to over and over—and yours will\, too. From Crespelle with Herb Pesto to Penne with Sausage\, Mushrooms\, and Ricotta Vegetable Polpette to Mimosa Cake\, this book is the next best thing to a seat at Lidia’s kitchen table. \nAbout the Author: Lidia Matticchio Bastianich is the author of fifteen previous cookbooks and is the Emmy Award-winning host of public television’s Lidia’s Kitchen\, which also airs internationally. She was a judge on Junior MasterChef Italy and has appeared on Italy’s highly-rated daily program La Prova del Cuoco. She is also the co-host of Nonna Senti Che Fame…Pensaci Tu\, which airs on Discovery+ in Italy. Lidia owns Becco and several other acclaimed restaurants and is a partner in the acclaimed Eataly.

SUMMARY:Virtual Author Talk: Cassandra Clare
DESCRIPTION:Register and view future Author Talks here: https://libraryc.org/willardlib \nJoin us for an exciting evening online as we chat with mega-bestselling author\, Cassandra Clare\, about her newest and final book in The Last Hours series\, Chain of Thorns. \nIn Chain of Gold\, the first book of The Last Hours Series\, the readers meet Cordelia. Cordelia Carstairs is a Shadowhunter\, a warrior trained since childhood to battle demons. When her father is accused of a terrible crime\, she and her brother travel to London in hopes of preventing the family’s ruin. Soon Cordelia encounters childhood friends James and Lucie Herondale and is drawn into their world of glittering ballrooms\, secret assignations\, and supernatural salons\, where vampires and warlocks mingle with mermaids and magicians. All the while\, she must hide her secret love for James\, who is sworn to marry someone else. But Cordelia’s new life is blown apart when a shocking series of demon attacks devastate London. Trapped in the city\, Cordelia and her friends discover that their own connection to a dark legacy has gifted them with incredible powers—and will soon learn the true cruel price of being a hero. \nChain of Iron\, the second book in the series\, Cordelia seems to have everything she ever wanted. She’s engaged to marry James Herondale\, the boy she has loved since childhood. She has a new life in London with her best friend Lucie Herondale and James’ charming companions\, the Merry Thieves. She is about to be reunited with her beloved father. And she bears the sword Cortana\, a legendary hero’s blade. Together with the Merry Thieves\, Cordelia\, James\, and Lucie must follow the trail of the knife-wielding killer through the city’s most dangerous streets. All the while\, each is keeping a shocking secret: Lucie\, that she plans to raise Jesse from the dead; Cordelia\, that she has sworn a dangerous oath of loyalty to a mysterious power; and James\, that he is being drawn further each night into the dark web of his grandfather\, the arch-demon Belial. And that he himself may be the killer they seek. \nIn the third and final installment in the series\, Chain of Thorns\, Cordelia has lost everything that matters to her. Even worse\, she is now bound to an ancient demon\, Lilith\, stripping her of her power as a Shadowhunter. After fleeing to Paris\, Cordelia hopes to forget her sorrows in the city’s glittering nightlife. But reality intrudes when shocking news comes from home: London is under new threat by the Prince of Hell\, Belial. Cordelia returns to a London riven by chaos and dissent. The long-kept secret that Belial is James and Lucie’s grandfather has been revealed by an unexpected enemy\, and the Herondales find themselves under suspicion of dealings with demons. Left alone in a shadowy London\, they must face Belial’s deadly army. If Cordelia and her friends are going to save their city—and their families—they will have to muster their courage\, swallow their pride\, and trust one another again. For if they fail\, they may lose everything—even their souls. \nAbout the Author: Cassandra Clare was born to American parents in Teheran\, Iran and spent much of her childhood traveling the world with her family\, including one trek through the Himalayas as a toddler where she spent a month living in her father’s backpack. She lived in France\, England and Switzerland before she was ten years old. \nAfter college\, Cassie lived in Los Angeles and New York where she worked at various entertainment magazines and even some rather suspect tabloids where she reported on Brad and Angelina’s world travels and Britney Spears’ wardrobe malfunctions. She started working on her YA novel\, City of Bones\, in 2004\, inspired by the urban landscape of Manhattan\, her favorite city. She turned to writing fantasy fiction full time in 2006. Her first book\, The City of Bones\, became and led to numerous instant #1 New York Times and USA Today Bestsellers including but not limited to The rest of The Mortal Instruments series\, The Infernal Devices series\, and The Last Hours series.

SUMMARY:Virtual Author Talk: Robert Jones Jr.
DESCRIPTION:Register and view future Author Talks here: https://libraryc.org/willardlib \nAll are welcome and encouraged to join us for an engaging hour online with New York Times bestselling author Robert Jones\, Jr.\, as he discusses his debut and award-winning novel\, The Prophets. \nThe Prophets is a story of love. Isaiah was Samuel’s\, and Samuel was Isaiah’s. That was how it was from the beginning and how it was to be until the end. In the barn\, they tended to the animals but also to each other\, transforming the hollowed-out shed into a place of human refuge\, a source of intimacy and hope in a world ruled by vicious masters. But when an older man—a fellow slave—seeks to gain favor by preaching the master’s gospel on the plantation\, the enslaved begin to turn on their own. Isaiah and Samuel’s love\, once so simple\, is seen as sinful and a clear danger to the plantation’s harmony. \nRobert Jones\, Jr. fiercely summons the voices of slaver and enslaved alike. As tensions build and the weight of centuries—of ancestors and future generations to come—culminates in a climactic reckoning\, The Prophets fearlessly reveals the pain and suffering of inheritance but is also shot through with hope\, beauty\, and truth\, portraying the enormous\, heroic power of love. \nAbout the Author: Robert Jones\, Jr. (formerly known online as “Son of Baldwin”) is a Brooklyn-based\, award-winning writer. He is the author of The New York Times bestselling novel\, The Prophets\, which won the 2022 Publishing Triangle Edmund White Award for Debut Fiction\, and was a finalist for the 2021 National Book Award for Fiction. His work has been featured in The New York Times\, Essence\, Variety\, and The Paris Review\, as well as in the critically acclaimed anthologies Four Hundred Souls and The 1619 Project. His latest work can be found in his newsletter\, Witness\, at robertjonesjr.substack.com.

SUMMARY:Virtual Author Talk: Erika Sanchez
DESCRIPTION:Register and view future Author Talks here: https://libraryc.org/willardlib \nJoin us as we chat with award-winning writer Erika Sánchez about her utterly original\, moving\, and disarmingly funny memoir-in-essays Crying in the Bathroom.  \nGrowing up as the daughter of Mexican immigrants in Chicago in the nineties\, Erika Sánchez was a self-described pariah\, misfit\, and disappointment—a foul-mouthed\, melancholic rabble-rouser who painted her nails black but also loved comedy\, often laughing so hard with her friends that she had to leave her school classroom. Twenty-five years later\, she’s now an award-winning novelist\, poet\, and essayist\, but she’s still got an irrepressible laugh\, an acerbic wit\, and singular powers of perception about the world around her. \nIn these essays\, Sánchez writes about everything from sex to white feminism to debilitating depression\, revealing an interior life rich with ideas\, self-awareness\, and perception. Raunchy\, insightful\, unapologetic\, and brutally honest\, Crying in the Bathroom is Sánchez’s best—a book that will make you feel that post-confessional high that comes from talking for hours with your best friend. \nAbout the Author:  \nErika L. Sánchez is the daughter of Mexican immigrants. Her debut poetry collection\, Lessons on Expulsion\, was published by Graywolf in July 2017 and was a finalist for the PEN America Open Book Award. Her debut young adult novel\, I Am Not Your Perfect Mexican Daughter\, published in October 2017 by Knopf Books for Young Readers\, was a New York Times bestseller and a National Book Awards finalist. It is now being made into a film directed by America Ferrera. Most recently\, Sánchez published a critically acclaimed memoir-in-essays titled Crying in the Bathroom with Viking Books. Sánchez was a Fulbright Scholar\, a 2015 Ruth Lilly and Dorothy Sargent fellow from the Poetry Foundation\, a 2017-2019 Princeton Arts Fellow\, a 2018 recipient of the 21st Century Award from the Chicago Public Library Foundation\, and a 2019 recipient of the National Endowment for the Arts Fellowship. She is the Sor Juana Inés de la Cruz chair at DePaul University in Chicago.

SUMMARY:Virtual Author Talk: Ethan Kross
DESCRIPTION:Register and view future Author Talks here: https://libraryc.org/willardlib \nThe most important conversation we have each day isn’t with our boss\, spouse\, or friends: it’s the one we have with ourselves. When facing a challenging task\, our inner voice can motivate us and help us keep our focus. But often\, we come up against the nagging voice that tells us we can’t do it or that people will laugh at us if we try. The million-dollar question is how can we transform our self-saboteur\, determined to undermine our success\, into an internal life coach that will buoy us up and help us expand our potential? \nEnter Ethan Kross. A world-class psychological scientist\, Kross has written one of modern history’s most definitive guides to mastering self-talk. In Chatter\, he uses a blend of cutting-edge science (from his own lab) and real-world case studies to help us harness the power of our inner voice. The tools are all around us—from the objects we surround ourselves with to our relationships with others\, the physical spaces we inhabit\, and the digital worlds we interact in. This talk is a lively exploration of how we can use those tools to make our inner voice work in our favor\, and it answers some valuable questions along the way. For instance\, why do we seem immune to toxic chatter when we attempt to advise other people? What factors determine whether we receive—and provide—helpful or harmful social support? And how can we approach our decision-making differently\, learning to control our emotions and reason wisely instead of acting on impulse? An expert storyteller\, Kross brings his research to life in a way that is fascinating\, accessible\, and immediately applicable to our daily lives. \nAbout the Author:  \nEthan Kross is one of the world’s leading experts on controlling the conscious mind. An award-winning professor and bestselling author in the University of Michigan’s top-ranked Psychology Department and its Ross School of Business\, he studies how the conversations people have with themselves impact their health\, performance\, decisions\, and relationships and is the founder of Emotion & Self-Control Laboratory. Ethan’s research has been published in Science\, The New England Journal of Medicine\, and The Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences\, among other peer-reviewed journals. He has participated in policy discussions at the White House and has been interviewed on CBS Evening News\, Good Morning America\, Anderson Cooper Full Circle\, and NPR’s Morning Edition. His pioneering research has been featured in The New York Times\, The Wall Street Journal\, The New Yorker\, Harvard Business Review\, USA Today\, The Economist\, The Atlantic\, Forbes\, and Time. \nEthan is the author of the National Bestseller Chatter: The Voice in Our Head\, Why it Matters and How to Harness It\, which was chosen as one of the best new books of the year by the Washington Post\, CNN\, and USA Today and the Winning Winter 2021 selection for Malcolm Gladwell\, Adam Grant\, Susan Cain\, and Dan Pink’s Next Big Idea Book Club. Chatter is scheduled to be translated into over 40 languages. \n  \n**The archived recording of this event will be removed on October 20\, 2023.**

SUMMARY:Virtual Author Talk: Charles Soule
DESCRIPTION:Register and view future Author Talks here: https://libraryc.org/willardlib \nYou’re invited to an awe-inspiring chat with New York Times bestselling author Charles Soule as he talks about his newest book\, The Endless Vessel\, which explores the way we’re all connected—and what can happen when we lose our capacity for joy. \nThe Endless Vessel transports us to a few years from now\, in a world similar to ours\, where there exists a sort of “depression plague” that people refer to simply as “The Grey.” No one can predict whom it will afflict or how\, but once infected\, there’s no coming back.  A young Hong Kong-based scientist\, Lily Barnes\, is trying to maintain her inner light in an increasingly dark world. The human race is dwindling\, and people fighting to push forward are increasingly rare. One day\, Lily comes across something that seems to be addressing her directly\, calling to her\, asking her to follow a path to whatever lies at its end. Is this the Endless Vessel that leads to happiness? She leaves her life behind and sets out through time and space to find out. \nCharles Soule artfully channels history\, science\, and drama to create a story for the ages—a story of hope and love\, and possibility. \nAbout the Author: Charles Soule is a New York-based\, #1 New York Times-best-selling novelist\, comic book writer\, musician\, and former attorney. While he has worked for DC and other publishers\, he is best known for writing Daredevil\, She-Hulk\, Death of Wolverine\, and various Star Wars comics from Marvel Comics and his creator-owned series Eight Billion Genies and Curse Words (with Ryan Browne)\, Undiscovered Country (with Scott Snyder & Giuseppe Camuncoli)\, Letter 44 (with Alberto Jimenez Alburquerque) and the Shrouded College series (with Will Sliney)\, which began with Book I: Hell to Pay in November 2022. \nHis first novel\, The Oracle Year\, was released in April 2018 by the Harper Perennial imprint of HarperCollins. His second novel\, Anyone\, was released in November 2019. His third original novel is The Endless Vessel.

SUMMARY:The Graham Brothers Tractors and Evansville
DESCRIPTION:Michael E. Keller\, author of the recently released book The Graham-Bradley Tractor: A History will present a program in the Browning Gallery at the Willard Library on Saturday\, June 10th\, at 1:00 p. m. \nAlthough this new farm tractor history deals primarily with the introduction of the iconic Graham-Bradley tractor 0f 1937\, Keller’s presentation will focus on the two Graham farm tractors designed and built in Evansville in 1915 and 1919. Keller’s offering will be enhanced by images of these tractors\, their introductions\, and merchandising. \nThe Graham brothers\, Joseph\, Robert\, and Ray\, were natives of Washington\, Indiana. Raised on their father’s farm\, the brothers first manufacturing endeavor–glass bottle manufacturing in Loogootee–was wildly successful. Following the turn of the century\, the brothers established a large plant in Evansville to meet ever increasing bottle demand. The trio’s subsequent manufacture of the hybrid “Graham Truck Builder\,” the Graham Brothers truck line\, and bodies for the Graham-Paige automobiles will be emphasized in Keller’s talk. The integral business relationship with William McCurdy and his various Hercules firms will also be explained. \nThe presentation will be followed by a question and answer session concerning the huge impact the various Graham brothers’ manufacturing enterprises had on the commerce\, the city\, and the people of Evansville. \nPersonally inscribed copies of the book will be available following Keller’s presentation. The M. T. Publishing Company\, Inc. of Evansville is the publisher of this third Graham history book.

SUMMARY:Virtual Author Talk: Jena Friedman
DESCRIPTION:Register and view future Author Talks here: https://libraryc.org/willardlib \nGrowing up\, Jena Friedman didn’t care about being likable. And she never wanted to be a comedian\, either. A child of the 90s\, she wouldn’t discover her knack for the funny business until research for her college thesis led her to take an improv class in Chicago. \nThat anthropology paper\, written on race\, class\, and gender in the city’s comedy scene\, was\, in Jena’s own words\, “just as funny as it sounds.” But it did lay the groundwork for a career that has seen her write and produce for The Daily Show with Jon Stewart\, the Late Show with David Letterman\, and the Oscar nominated Borat Subsequent Moviefilm. \nFriedman’s debut collection\, Not Funny\, takes on the third rails of modern life in Jena’s bold and subversive style\, with essays that explore cancel culture\, sexism\, work\, celebrity worship\, and…dead baby jokes. \nIn a moment where women’s rights are being rolled back\, fascism is on the rise\, and so many of us could use a breather as we struggle to get by\, Jena applies her unique gifts to pull a laugh from things deemed too raw\, too precious\, and too scary to joke about. She shares her stories of taking on those who told her she was too brash\, too edgy\, and too “unlikable” to make it. She deftly dissects how we get coerced into silence on the issues that matter most\, until they’ve gone too far afield to be turned back around again. And she shares her struggles to make it (-ish) in a world that\, more often than not\, would rather tune out than listen to a woman confronting the indignities we’ve been told to bear. \nAbout the Author: Jena Friedman is a comedian\, filmmaker\, and creator of AMC’s Indefensible and Soft Focus with Jena Friedman on Adult Swim. She has worked on The Daily Show with Jon Stewart\, Late Show with David Letterman\, and her writing has appeared in The New Yorker\, ARTNET\, and The Guardian. She was nominated for an Academy Award for Best Adapted Screenplay\, and won a Writer’s Guild of America award for her work on Borat Subsequent Moviefilm. She splits her time between Los Angeles and New York. Find out more at JenaFriedman.com and follow her on Twitter @JenaFriedman.
