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.

SUMMARY:Virtual Author Talk: William Kent Krueger
DESCRIPTION:Register and view future Author Talks here: https://libraryc.org/willardlib \nYou are in for a riveting hour online with New York Times bestselling author William Kent Krueger! Join us as he discusses his newest book in the Cork O’Connor series Fox Creek and his other works!  \nFox Creek follows Cork O”Connor in a race against time to save his wife\, a mysterious stranger\, and an Ojibwe healer from bloodthirsty mercenaries. The ancient Ojibwe healer Henry Meloux has had a vision of his death. As he walks the Northwoods in solitude\, he tries to prepare himself peacefully for the end of his long life. But peace is destined to elude him as hunters fill the woods seeking a woman named Dolores Morriseau\, a stranger who had come to the healer for shelter and the gift of his wisdom. Meloux guides this stranger and his great niece\, Cork O’Connor’s wife\, to safety deep into the Boundary Waters\, his home for more than a century. Meanwhile\, in Aurora\, Cork works feverishly to identify the hunters and the reason for their relentless pursuit\, but he has little to go on. He knows only too well that with each passing hour time is running out. But his fiercest enemy in this deadly game of cat and mouse may well be his own deep self-doubt about his ability to save those he loves. \nAbout the Author: Krueger writes a mystery series set in the north woods of Minnesota. His protagonist is Cork O’Connor\, the former sheriff of Tamarack County and a man of mixed heritage—part Irish and part Ojibwe. His work has received a number of awards\, including the Minnesota Book Award\, the Loft-McKnight Fiction Award\, the Anthony Award\, the Barry Award\, the Dilys Award\, and the Friends of American Writers Prize.  \nOrdinary Grace\, his stand-alone novel published in 2013\, received the Edgar Award\, given by the Mystery Writers of America in recognition for the best novel published in that year. The companion novel\, This Tender Land\, was published in September 2019 and spent nearly six months on the New York Times bestseller list. His last nine novels were all New York Times bestsellers. He’s been married for nearly fifty years to a marvelous woman who is a retired attorney. He makes his home in St. Paul\, a city he dearly loves.

SUMMARY:Ernest Hemingway: One True Sentence
DESCRIPTION:Join us as Mark Cirino presents “Ernest Hemingway: One True Sentence” on Monday\, April 17 at 6:00pm in the Browning Gallery (lower level) at Willard Public Library. Book signing to follow! \n\nErnest Hemingway’s cartoonish “Papa” persona – the brawler\, boozer\, braggart\, big game hunter\, and chronic womanizer— often overshadows his greatness as a writer. In this presentation\, we will ignore the temptations of biography and myth to concentrate instead on the most enduring contribution of Hemingway’s life: his writing. Using Hemingway’s “one true sentence” credo as inspiration\, we will examine representative sentences from texts such as The Sun Also Rises\, A Farewell to Arms\, and A Moveable Feast to discover techniques that gave his work such lasting power. \n\n\nDr. Mark Cirino is a Professor of English and Melvin M. Peterson Endowed Chair of English at the University of Evansville\, where he has taught American literature for fifteen years. He has authored or edited ten books\, including Ernest Hemingway: Thought in Action\, Reading Hemingway’s Across the River and into the Trees\, and most recently\, One True Sentence: Writers & Readers on Hemingway’s Art\, which he edited with Michael Von Cannon. He hosts the Hemingway Society’s popular One True Podcast\, which explores Ernest Hemingway’s life\, work\, and world.\n

With the singular goal of paying off her student loans\, what the journey will actually cost Beaton will be far more than she anticipates. \nArriving in Fort McMurray\, Beaton finds work in the lucrative camps owned and operated by the world’s largest oil companies. Being one of the few women among thousands of men\, the culture shock is palpable. It does not hit home until she moves to a spartan\, isolated worksite for higher pay. She encounters the harsh reality of life in the oil sands where trauma is an everyday occurrence yet never discussed. Her wounds may never heal. \nBeaton’s natural cartooning prowess is on full display as she draws colossal machinery and mammoth vehicles set against a sublime Albertan backdrop of wildlife\, Northern Lights\, and Rocky Mountains. Ducks: Two Years in the Oil Sands is more than a memoir\, it’s also an untold story of Canada: a country that prides itself on its egalitarian ethos and natural beauty while simultaneously exploiting both the riches of its land and the humanity of its people. \nAbout the Author: Kate Beaton was born and raised in Cape Breton\, Nova Scotia\, Canada. After graduating from Mount Allison University with a double degree in History and Anthropology\, she moved to Alberta in search of work that would allow her to pay down her student loans. During the years she spent out West\, Beaton began creating webcomics under the name Hark! A Vagrant\, quickly drawing a substantial following around the world. The collections of her landmark strip Hark! A Vagrant and Step Aside\, Pops each spent several months on the New York Times graphic novel bestseller list\, as well as appearing on best of the year lists from Time\, The Washington Post\, Vulture\, NPR Books\, and winning the Eisner\, Ignatz\, Harvey\, and Doug Wright Awards. She has also published the picture books King Baby and The Princess and the Pony. Beaton lives in Cape Breton with her family.

SUMMARY:Virtual Author Talk: David Epstein
DESCRIPTION:Register and view future Author Talks here: https://libraryc.org/willardlib \nYou’re invited to a conversation with New York Times bestselling author David Epstein as he chats about his most recent book\, Range: Why Generalists Triumph in a Specialized World. \nWhat’s the most effective path to success in any domain? It’s not what you think. \nPlenty of experts argue that anyone who wants to develop a skill\, play an instrument\, or lead their field should start early\, focus intensely\, and rack up as many hours of deliberate practice as possible. If you dabble or delay\, you’ll never catch up to the people who got a head start. But a closer look at research on the world’s top performers\, from professional athletes to Nobel laureates\, shows that early specialization is the exception\, not the rule. \nDavid Epstein examined the world’s most successful athletes\, artists\, musicians\, inventors\, forecasters\, and scientists. He discovered that in most fields—especially those that are complex and unpredictable—generalists\, not specialists\, are primed to excel. Generalists often find their path late\, juggling many interests rather than focusing on one. They’re also more creative\, agile\, and able to make connections their more specialized peers can’t see. \nProvocative\, rigorous\, and engrossing\, Range makes a compelling case for actively cultivating inefficiency. Failing a test is the best way to learn. Frequent quitters end up with the most fulfilling careers. The most impactful inventors cross domains rather than deepening their knowledge in a single area. As experts silo themselves further while computers master more of the skills once reserved for highly focused humans\, people who think broadly and embrace diverse experiences and perspectives will increasingly thrive. \nAbout the Author: David Epstein is the author of the #1 New York Times bestseller Range: Why Generalists Triumph in a Specialized World and of the New York Times bestseller The Sports Gene\, both of which have been translated into more than 20 languages. His writing has been honored by an array of organizations\, from the National Academies of Sciences\, Engineering\, and Medicine\, to the Society of Professional Journalists and the National Center on Disability and Journalism\, and has been included in the Best American Science and Nature Writing anthology. His story “Following the Trail of Broken Hearts\,” on sudden cardiac death in athletes\, was chosen as one of the top 100 stories of the last 100 years by Columbia Journalism alumni. He has master’s degrees in environmental science and journalism and lives in Washington\, DC.

SUMMARY:Virtual Author Talk: Sadeqa Johnson
DESCRIPTION:Register and view future Author Talks here: https://libraryc.org/willardlib \nSadeqa Johnson\, The House of Eve\, Tuesday\, February 28th \nWe look forward to seeing you for an invigorating conversation with highly acclaimed author Sadeqa Johnson as she talks about her brand new novel\, The House of Eve! \nFifteen-year-old Ruby Pearsall is on track to becoming the first in her family to attend college\, in spite of having a mother more interested in keeping a man than raising her daughter. But a taboo love affair threatens to pull her back down into the poverty and desperation that has been passed onto her like a birthright. \nEleanor Quarles arrived in Washington DC with ambition and secrets. When she meets the handsome William Pride at Howard University\, they fall madly in love. But William hails from one of DC’s elite wealthy Black families\, and his parents don’t just let anyone into their fold. Eleanor hopes that a baby will make her finally feel at home in William’s family and grant her the life she’s been searching for. But having a baby—and fitting in—is easier said than done. \nThe lives of these two women collide in the most unexpected way as they both face life altering decisions. The House of Eve is a fast-paced\, harrowing story that hinges on what it means to be a woman and a mother\, and how much one is willing to sacrifice to achieve her greatest goal.

SUMMARY:Virtual Author Talk: Grace M. Cho
DESCRIPTION:Register and view future Author Talks here: https://libraryc.org/willardlib \nGrace M. Cho\, Tastes Like War\, Thursday\, February 16th \nYou don’t want to miss an insightful chat with award-winning author Grace M. Cho as she discusses her memoir\, Tastes Like War: A Memoir. Grace M. Cho grew up as the daughter of a white American merchant marine and the Korean bar hostess he met abroad. They were one of few immigrants in a xenophobic small town during the Cold War\, where identity was politicized by everyday details—language\, cultural references\, memories\, and food. When Grace was fifteen\, her dynamic mother experienced the onset of schizophrenia\, a condition that would continue and evolve for the rest of her life. Part food memoir\, part sociological investigation\, Tastes Like War is a hybrid text about a daughter’s search through intimate and global history for the roots of her mother’s schizophrenia.

Their date goes about as well as can be expected of most first dates—awkward and terrible. To make matters worse\, once Morty discovers Nina’s last name\, he’s far from a fan; it turns out that the Blackmoores have been bullishly trying to buy the Shamrock out from under Morty and his family. But when Morty begins developing magical powers at the same time that Nina’s own magic surges beyond her control\, Nina must manage Morty’s rude awakening to the hidden magical world\, uncover its cause\, and face the intensity of their own burgeoning connection. But what happens when that connection is tied to Nina’s power surge\, a power she’s finding nearly as addictive as Morty’s presence in her life?
