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:Catharine\, Queen of the Tumbling Waters - Reading and Q&A with Cynthia G. Neale
DESCRIPTION:Cynthia G. Neale\, author of historical novels\, cookbooks\, essays\, and screenplays\, will be at Buffalo Street Books to read from her latest novel\, Catherine\, Queen of the Tumbling Waters. Join us for an evening of historical literature and tasty treats! \n“I’m not like your white women who lose their tongues and wits in a house full of men.” \nSo says Catharine Montour to her white captive during the Indian depredations of the 1750s. Catharine Montour\, a métis\, born during Pennsylvania’s Long Peace\, is nurtured by her grandmother\, the celebrated Madame Montour\, an interpreter for the British colonies. Her uncle\, Andrew Montour\, is also an interpreter and sits on the Council of the Iroquois. The Montours are an unconventional\, yet highly regarded family who host diverse and fascinating assemblies of fur traders\, missionaries\, Indians\, and colonial leaders in their home. \nAs the Long Peace ends and the French and Indian War\, and eventually the American Revolution occur\, Catharine\, desiring only to live quietly by a waterfall in New York\, becomes a fearless\, determined\, and passionate leader who demands loyalty to peace in her village and for all. And then in 1779 when General John Sullivan leads the campaign to destroy all Iroquois villages\, Queen Catharine\, heroically guides her people to Fort Niagara. \nToday as American exceptionalism prevails against the recognition of indigenous peoples\, Catharine’s relevant and fact-based story spans two wars and enlightens and makes visible the unwritten truths of early American history.

SUMMARY:House of Caravans with Shilpi Suneja
DESCRIPTION:Kick off the month of November with a reading and Q&A with Shilpi Suneja from her debut novel\, House of Caravans. Suneja will be in conversation with Natasha Raheja\, Assistant Professor of Anthropology at Cornell University. \nThis book is a marvelous debut novel exploring the fractures caused by the Partition of India\, as well as the legacy and contemporary parallels of sectarian violence around the world. \nLahore\, British India. 1943. As World War rages\, resentment of colonial rule grows\, and with it acts of rebellion. Animated by idealistic dreams of an independent India\, Chhote Nanu agrees to plant a bomb intended for the British superintendent of police. Some four years later\, following a torturous imprisonment\, Chhote flees the city as it descends into violence. Carrying the young son of his murdered wife through scenes of unspeakable bloodshed\, he encounters his brother\, Barre Nanu\, the two of them caught between a vanishing past in the new nation of Pakistan and a profoundly uncertain future in India. \nKanpur\, India. 2002. Following the death of his grandfather\, Barre Nanu\, Karan Khatri returns from New York to join his sister in their childhood home\, which has been transformed by the embittered Chhote Nanu into a hostel for Hindu pilgrims. When their mother arrives from Delhi\, Karan and Ila learn that their fathers were two different men—one Hindu\, one Muslim—relationships with both of whom were doomed by familial bias and prejudice\, the siblings resolve to reconnect\, and to understand the painful twist and turns in the family’s story. \nMoving back and forth from the tumultuous years surrounding Partition to the era of renewed global sectarianism following 9/11\, this extraordinary historical novel\, “Tolstoyan in its scope” (Ha Jin)\, portrays a family and nations divided by the living legacy of colonialism. Richly evocative and timely\, House of Caravans will endure in the ways only the best literature does.

SUMMARY:Nightbitch: Rachel Yoder in conversation with Melanie Conroy-Goldman
DESCRIPTION:About the Event \nRachel Yoder will be at BSB to discuss her fantastical novel\, Nightbitch. \nOne day\, the mother was a mother\, but then one night\, she was quite suddenly something else… \nAn ambitious mother puts her art career on hold to stay at home with her newborn son\, but the experience does not match her imagination. Two years later\, she steps into the bathroom for a break from her toddler’s demands\, only to discover a dense patch of hair on the back of her neck. In the mirror\, her canines suddenly look sharper than she remembers. Her husband\, who travels for work five days a week\, casually dismisses her fears from faraway hotel rooms. \nAs the mother’s symptoms intensify\, and her temptation to give in to her new dog impulses peak\, she struggles to keep her alter-canine-identity secret. Seeking a cure at the library\, she discovers the mysterious academic tome which becomes her bible\, A Field Guide to Magical Women: A Mythical Ethnography\, and meets a group of mommies involved in a multilevel-marketing scheme who may also be more than what they seem. \nAn outrageously original novel of ideas about art\, power\, and womanhood wrapped in a satirical fairy tale\, Nightbitch will make you want to howl in laughter and recognition. And you should. You should howl as much as you want. \nAbout the Author \nRachel Yoder is a founding editor of draft: the journal of process. She holds M.F.A’s from the University of Arizona (fiction) and the University of Iowa (nonfiction)\, where she was an Iowa Arts Fellow. Her stories and essays have been published in literary journals such as The Kenyon Review and The Missouri Review\, as well as national outlets such as The New York Times\, The Sun\, and Lit Hub. She lives in Iowa City with her husband and son.

SUMMARY:Reading Widely Book Club: Now Is Not the Time to Panic
DESCRIPTION:About the Event \nJoin Chris Holmes at Buffalo Street Books and discuss Kevin Wilson’s latest novel\, Now Is Not the Time to Panic. This staff favorite is a hilarious read that’s a perfect addition to any book self. \nAbout the Book \nSixteen-year-old Frankie Budge–aspiring writer\, indifferent student\, offbeat loner–is determined to make it through yet another summer in Coalfield\, Tennessee\, when she meets Zeke\, a talented artist who has just moved into his grandmother’s house and who is as awkward as Frankie is. Romantic and creative sparks begin to fly\, and when the two jointly make an unsigned poster\, shot through with an enigmatic phrase\, it becomes unforgettable to anyone who sees it. When the posters begin appearing everywhere\, people wonder who is behind them and start to panic. The rumors won’t stop\, and soon the mystery has dangerous repercussions that spread far beyond the town. Twenty years later\, Frances Eleanor Budge gets a call that threatens to upend her carefully built life: a journalist named Mazzy Brower is writing a story about the Coalfield Panic of 1996. Might Frances know something about that? \nAbout the Author \nKevin Wilson is the author of two collections\, Tunneling to the Center of the Earth (Ecco/Harper Perennial\, 2009)\, which received an Alex Award from the American Library Association and the Shirley Jackson Award\, and Baby You’re Gonna Be Mine (Ecco\, 2018)\, and three novels\, The Family Fang (Ecco\, 2011)\, Perfect Little World (Ecco\, 2017) and Nothing to See Here (Ecco\, 2019)\, a New York Times bestseller and a Read with Jenna book club selection.
