SUMMARY:Study in Hysteria with Kathleen Collins
DESCRIPTION:Join Kathleen Collins for an in-person reading of her debut novel\, Study in Hysteria. \nIn the middle of 1974\, Flora is privileged and middle-aged in a liberation-hued America\, and feels both compelled by and left out of the women’s movement. She finds it difficult to activate her limited supply of empathy as she contends with a clandestine and unlikely friendship\, a worrisome health scare\, a domineering and philandering psychiatrist husband or her own distant daughter. \nFlora’s secret foray into psychotherapy does nothing to halt the sense that there is a better life for her somewhere else\, in some parallel existence. Through the continuum of psychological diagnoses\, she is lost in the murky place between contentment and discontentment\, normal and abnormal. \nIs her state of mind a clinical\, diagnosable condition\, or common malaise? Perhaps she’ll find out if she stops resisting to share herself with those who love her. \nKathleen Collins is a librarian at John Jay College of Criminal Justice in New York City. Her work has appeared in such outlets as the Journal of Popular Film & Television\, Critical Studies in Television\, Journalism & Mass Communication Quarterly\, and Camera Obscura: Feminism\, Culture\, and Media Studies. She produces and co-hosts a podcast called Indoor Voices. Study in Hysteria is her first novel.

SUMMARY:Live Dead: The Grateful Dead\, Live Recordings\, and Ideology of Liveness
DESCRIPTION:Join John Brackett and Liz Field for a conversation on how live recordings have shaped the history and mythology of the Grateful Dead for more than fifty years. \nThe Grateful Dead were one of the most successful live acts of the rock era. Performing more than 2\,300 shows between 1965 and 1995\, the Grateful Dead’s reputation as a live band was—and continues to be—sustained by thousands of live concert recordings from every era of the group’s long and colorful career. In Live Dead\, musicologist John Brackett examines how live recordings—from the group’s official releases to fan-produced tapes\, bootlegs to “Betty Boards\,” and Dick’s Picks to From the Vault—have shaped the general history and popular mythology of the Grateful Dead for more than fifty years. Drawing on a diverse array of materials and documents contained in the Grateful Dead Archive\, Live Dead details how live recordings became meaningful among the band and their fans not only as sonic souvenirs of past musical performances but also as expressions of assorted ideals\, including notions of “liveness\,” authenticity\, and the power of recorded sound. \nJohn Brackett is an Ithaca College alum\, musicologist\, and writer. He lives in Chapel Hill\, North Carolina.

SUMMARY:Here\, Where Death Delights
DESCRIPTION:Join Mary Jumbelic and Joshua Jumbles for a conversation about Jumbelic’s new memoir\, Here\, Where Death Delights. \nMary Jumbelic\, M.D.\, is a board-certified forensic pathologist who performed thousands of autopsies during her 25-year career. She received awards for her work from the National Transportation Safety Board and the New York State Senate and has been recognized as a trailblazer by the National Organization of Women. In retirement\, she has published many nonfiction stories\, accounts of her life both in and out of the morgue. This is her first book. She lives with her husband in Central New York. She speaks for the dead. They speak for her. \nMary Jumbelic has been obsessed with death since the demise of her father when she was 13. The why and how of his mortality plagued her. While viewing an autopsy at the age of 15\, she discovered a science that explained the process. For 25 years\, she analyzed corpses and explained to families what had happened to their loved ones\, something that hadn’t been done for her. This daily confrontation challenged her to re-live her own loss. Dr. Jumbelic developed a way to honor people’s lives by speaking for them in courts\, classrooms\, and interviews. How did she finally integrate death into her own life so filled with hope? This is her journey.

SUMMARY:Black Women Taught Us
DESCRIPTION:About the Event \nJenn M. Jackson–abolitionist\, organizer\, writer\, and professor–will be at Buffalo Street Books with local leaders Shacoya Kidwell and Dr. Nia Nunn to discuss their new book\, Black Women Taught Us. \nAbout the Author \nJenn M. Jackson (they/them) is a genderflux androgynous Black woman\, a lesbian\, an abolitionist\, a lover of all Black people\, and an Assistant Professor at Syracuse University in the Department of Political Science.\nJackson’s primary research is in Black Politics with a focus on racial threat and trauma\, gender and sexuality\, political behavior\, and social movements. Jackson also holds affiliate positions in African American Studies\, Women’s and Gender Studies\, and LGBT Studies. They are a Senior Research Associate at The Campbell Public Affairs Institute at the Maxwell School at Syracuse University\, as well. \nAbout the Book \nThis is my offering. My love letter to them\, and to us. \nJenn M. Jackson\, PhD\, has been known to bring historical acuity to some of the most controversial topics in America today. Now\, in their first book\, Jackson applies their critical analysis to the questions that have long energized their work: Why has Black women’s freedom fighting been so overlooked throughout history\, and what has our society lost because of our refusal to engage with our forestrugglers’ lessons? \nA love letter to those who have been minimized and forgotten\, this collection repositions Black women’s intellectual and political work at the center of today’s liberation movements. \nAcross eleven original essays that explore the legacy of Black women writers and leaders–from Harriet Jacobs and Ida B. Wells to the Combahee River Collective and Audre Lorde–Jackson sets the record straight about Black women’s longtime movement organizing\, theorizing\, and coalition building in the name of racial\, gender\, and sexual justice in the United States and abroad. These essays show\, in both critical and deeply personal terms\, how Black women have been at the center of modern liberation movements despite the erasure and misrecognition of their efforts. Jackson illustrates how Black women have frequently done the work of liberation at great risk to their lives and livelihoods. \nFor a new generation of movement organizers and co-strugglers\, Black Women Taught Us serves as a reminder that Black women were the first ones to teach us how to fight racism\, how to name that fight\, and how to imagine a more just world for everyone.

SUMMARY:Reading Widely Book Club - Babel
DESCRIPTION:Join Deedi Brown at Buffalo Street Books for conversation about R.F. Kuang’s Babel\, a thematic response to The Secret History and a tonal retort to Jonathan Strange & Mr. Norrell that grapples with student revolutions\, colonial resistance\, and the use of language and translation as the dominating tool of the British empire. \nBook club books are 10% off. \nAbout the Book \n1828. Robin Swift\, orphaned by cholera in Canton\, is brought to London by the mysterious Professor Lovell. There\, he trains for years in Latin\, Ancient Greek\, and Chinese\, all in preparation for the day he’ll enroll in Oxford University’s prestigious Royal Institute of Translation–also known as Babel. Babel is the world’s center for translation and\, more importantly\, magic. Silver working–the art of manifesting the meaning lost in translation using enchanted silver bars–has made the British unparalleled in power\, as its knowledge serves the Empire’s quest for colonization. For Robin\, Oxford is a utopia dedicated to the pursuit of knowledge. But knowledge obeys power\, and as a Chinese boy raised in Britain\, Robin realizes serving Babel means betraying his motherland. As his studies progress\, Robin finds himself caught between Babel and the shadowy Hermes Society\, an organization dedicated to stopping imperial expansion. When Britain pursues an unjust war with China over silver and opium\, Robin must decide… \nCan powerful institutions be changed from within\, or does revolution always require violence? \nAbout the Author \nRebecca F. Kuang is the #1 New York Times and #1 Sunday Times bestselling author of the Poppy War trilogy\, Babel: An Arcane History\, Yellowface\, and Katabasis (forthcoming). Her work has won the Nebula\, Locus\, Crawford\, and British Book Awards. She has been named to the 2023 Time100 Next list and the Forbes 30 Under 30 Class of 2024. 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 Sinophone literature and Asian American literature.

SUMMARY:Unshrinking - Kate Manne in conversation with Adrienne Bitar
DESCRIPTION:Join Kate Manne and Adrienne Bitar as they discuss Unshrinking: How to Face Fatphobia. \nFor as long as she can remember\, Kate Manne has wanted to be smaller. She can tell you what she weighed on any significant occasion: her wedding day\, the day she became a professor\, the day her daughter was born. She’s been bullied and belittled for her size\, leading to extreme dieting. As a feminist philosopher\, she wanted to believe that she was exempt from the cultural gaslighting that compels so many of us to ignore our hunger. But she was not. \nBlending intimate stories with the trenchant analysis that has become her signature\, Manne shows why fatphobia has become a vital social justice issue. Over the last several decades\, implicit bias has waned in every category\, from race to sexual orientation\, except one: body size. Manne examines how anti-fatness operates—how it leads us to make devastating assumptions about a person’s attractiveness\, fortitude\, and intellect\, and how it intersects with other systems of oppression. Fatphobia is responsible for wage gaps\, medical neglect\, and poor educational outcomes; it is a straitjacket\, restricting our freedom\, our movement\, our potential. \nIn this urgent call to action\, Manne proposes a new politics of “body reflexivity”—a radical reevaluation of who our bodies exist in the world for: ourselves and no one else. When it comes to fatphobia\, the solution is not to love our bodies more. Instead\, we must dismantle the forces that control and constrain us\, and remake the world to accommodate people of every size. \nKate Manne is an associate professor of philosophy at Cornell University\, where she’s been teaching since 2013. Before that\, she was a junior fellow at the Harvard Society of Fellows. Manne did her graduate work in philosophy at MIT and is the author of two previous books\, Down Girl and Entitled.

SUMMARY:Nikki Glaser: The Good Girl Tour
DESCRIPTION:Nikki Glaser is one of the funniest female voices in comedy today. For nearly two decades at clubs across the country\, and as the host of three hit podcasts\, Nikki has been honing her shockingly honest\, no-holds barred style of comedy. Her daily show\, THE NIKKI GLASER PODCAST\, launched in March 2021 through iHeartMedia and Will Ferrell’s Big Money Players Network. It is a daily companion podcast that is peppered with Nikki’s sense of humor and honesty to help keep listeners sane\, well-informed\, and laughing through life. In July of 2022\, she headlined her first HBO comedy special\, GOOD CLEAN FILTH\, which has been nominated for a Critics Choice Award for Best Comedy Special. Nikki is currently on her nationwide and international comedy tour\, THE GOOD GIRL TOUR\, which kicked off in January 2023. \nNikki is also the host and executive producer of the hit HBO Max reality dating series FBOY ISLAND. FBOY ISLAND follows three women on a tropical island where they’re joined by 24 men – 12 self-proclaimed “Nice Guys” looking for love and 12 self-proclaimed “FBoys\,” there to compete for cold\, hard cash. The Washington Post hailed the series as “deliciously twisty” and TIME called it a “compelling and clever masterpiece” with “smart execution” noting that\, “An advisor to the women and a gentle antagonist to the FBoys\, Glaser\, a comedian\, brings just the right level of self-aware humor.” Season one of FBOY ISLAND had the biggest premiere weekend for an HBO Max Original reality series since the platform’s launch. The second season premiered in July 2022. \nNikki recently took her love of reality TV to the next level by starring in\, and executive producing\, the E! half-hour reality sitcom WELCOME HOME NIKKI GLASER? Uprooted from her fast-paced Hollywood lifestyle\, Nikki returns to her hometown of St. Louis where she embarks on a hilarious and often uncomfortable journey of self-discovery. Unfiltered\, relatable\, and unapologetically herself\, Nikki navigates friends\, family\, and romance as a homegrown local celebrity. \nPreviously\, Nikki was flexing her over-sharing muscle as the host of Comedy Central’s first live daily morning show\, YOU UP WITH NIKKI GLASER for SiriusXM\, which ran from February 2018 to October 2020.  Nikki’s recent Netflix comedy special\, BANGIN’\, was released October 2019.  BANGIN’ was the most watched specials on Netflix when it premiered. Nikki hosted\, co-created and executive produced the critically acclaimed and daring comedic show\, NOT SAFE WITH NIKKI GLASER\, for Comedy Central and NIKKI & SARA LIVE for MTV. \nNikki was a standout at the Comedy Central Roasts of Alec Baldwin\, Bruce Willis\, and Rob Lowe\, which led to her guest-hosting JIMMY KIMMEL LIVE! and hosting the inaugural edition of the 2021 MTV MOVIE & TV AWARDS: UNSCRIPTED\, which earned her stellar reviews.  She also had memorable film and television roles in Judd Apatow’s TRAINWRECK\, NBC’s AP BIO and INSIDE AMY SCHUMER\, amongst others. And in November of 2022 Nikki was a triumph coming in third place on the 9th season of the hit FOX series THE MASKED SINGER. \nNikki has multiple stand-up specials and late-night tv appearances in which she jokes about her most humiliating moments as a woman in the modern world. Nikki’s past and current struggles with anorexia\, depression\, and anxiety are fair game in both her stand-up\, and in-depth interviews with THE HOWARD STERN SHOW\, WTF with MARC MARON\, CONAN O´BRIEN NEEDS A FRIEND and THE JOE ROGAN EXPERIENCE. She has become a complete open book on mic – and not just for the laughs\, she’s also adamant on being the empowering voice for women that she yearned for as a confused adolescent.
