Join us on December 8th at 4pm as we welcome author Benjamin Resnick, who will be reading from and discussing his debut novel, Next Stop. For readers of Leave the World Behind and Exit West, Next Stop is an astonishingly resonant novel that explores the precariousness of Jewish American life through one family after a black hole consumes the State of Israel and similar strange events occur in major cities around the world, ushering in a time of chaos as well as miracles. Against a backdrop of antisemitic paranoia, restrictions on Jewish life, and spasms of violence, Ethan and Ella, Jewish citizens of a nameless American city, meet and fall in love. Ella, a photojournalist, documents the changes in daily life, particularly among the city’s Jewish residents. Some Jews, feeling inexplicably drawn to the unusual events, go underground to an abandoned subway system that seems to connect the entire world. Others leave for the south, forming militias and stockpiling weapons. But most, like Ethan, Ella, and her young son Michael, stay and try to make their way amid the hostility and small joys of the ever-changing landscape. But then thousands of commercial planes are sucked from the sky. Air travel stops. Borders close. Refugees pour into the capital. Eventually all Jews in the city are forced to relocate to the Pale, an area sandwiched between a park and a river. There, under the watchful eye of border guards, drones, and robotic dogs, they form a fragile new society. Suspenseful, thought-provoking, and brilliantly conceived, Next Stop is an enthralling novel that explores the fault lines between our collective, national, and individual memories and how our deepest bonds can be unexpectedly reshaped in moments of crisis. Signed copies will be available after the event. We look forward to seeing you there! Information Source: Symposium Books | eventbrite

Join us on February 14th at 6pm as we welcome Kyle Paoletta to downtown Providence, where he'll be discussing his latest, American Oasis: Finding the Future in the Cities of the Southwest. About the book: An expansive and revelatory historical exploration of the multicultural, water-seeking, land-destroying settlers of the most arid corner of North America, arguing that in order to know where the United States is going in the era of mass migration and climate crisis we must understand where the Southwest has already been Albuquerque. Phoenix. Tucson. El Paso. Las Vegas. Iconic American cities surrounded by desert and rust. Teeming metropolises that seem to exist independently of the seemingly inhospitable and arid landscape that surrounds them, belying the rich insight they offer into American stories of migration, industry, bloodshed, and rebirth. Charting a geographic path through America’s largest and hottest deserts, acclaimed journalist Kyle Paoletta maps the past and future of these cities, and the many other settlements from rural town to urban sprawl that make up the region that has come to be called “the American Southwest.” Weaving together the stories of immigrants and indigenous populations, American Oasis pulls back the layers of settlement, sediment, habit, and effect that successive empires have left on the region, from the Athapascan, Diné, Tewa, Apache, and Comanche, to the Spanish, Mexican, and, finally, American. As Paoletta’s journey into the Southwest’s history becomes inextricably linked to an exploration of its dependency on water, he begins to ask: where, ultimately, will cities like Las Vegas and Phoenix find themselves once the Colorado River and its branches dry up? Richly reported and sweeping in its history, American Oasis is the story of what one iconic region’s past can tell us about our shared environmental and cultural future. About the author: Kyle Paoletta’s reporting and criticism has appeared in The New York Times, Harper’s, New York Magazine, The Nation, The New Republic, n+1, The Believer, The Columbia Journalism Review, The Baffler, High Country News, and Boston. Kyle holds an MFA in Fiction from Columbia University and previously worked at GQ and New York Magazine. He grew up in Albuquerque, New Mexico, and lives in Cambridge, Massachusetts. Signed copies of the book will be available for purchase. We'll also be providing complimentary wine for audience members. Information Source: Symposium Books | eventbrite

Join us as we welcome local poet and founder of Pawtucket Poetry, Lori Kirkland, who will be reading from her poetry collection, Tucked in Flowers: Hidden in Plain Sight. About the book: Truth is a heavy burden to hear so we hide it inside us. Many live their entire lives never able to tell. The need to be seen however sneaks out in disguises like memories tucked in flowers hidden in plain sight. Posts on social media, pictures and poems documenting lived experiences without explicit details are now exposed. This collection of poems tells the story of what happens when everything comes to light. The journey of self-love leading to a love of a lifetime, a happy ending. What once was hidden is now on display as a beautiful bouquet. About the poet: Author Lori Kirkland of Rhode Island is the founder of Pawtucket Poetry where she hosts poetry open mic events weekly. She is also the author of 9 books: eight books published under her former name- Lori Minutoli and one published under a pen name- Lara Makanani.
