SUMMARY:Speaker Series: Jason Heller
DESCRIPTION:Charleston Library Society hosts Jason Heller for a night of funkadelic music and literary discussion about his new book Strange Stars unlike anything seen before in the Lowcountry. Come for the music\, stay for the stories and the Strange Stars cocktail. For tickets\, call 843-723-9912 or click here. $5 members/$10 nonmembers \nSpearheaded by Hugo Award winning author and music journalist Jason Heller (The New Yorker\, Rolling Stone\, Entertainment Weekly\, and more) in support of his latest book\, Strange Stars: David Bowie\, Pop Music\, and the Decade Sci-Fi Exploded\, the night will feature music\, conversation\, and a specialty Strange Stars cocktail. \nStrange Stars is a unique story\, featuring an exciting decade of music and one of its biggest icons: David Bowie. As the 1960s drew to a close\, Bowie slipped into the empty balcony of a London cinema to see 2001: A Space Odyssey. He emerged a changed man. As the 1970s progressed and mankind trained its telescopes on distant worlds\, Bowie would lead other rock stars to see the world of science fiction as the catalyst needed to continue the revolution begun in the sixties. \nStrange Stars explains how science fiction and music came to depend on each other throughout the decade. With Bowie as their leader\, Heller ties some of pop music’s most influential names into a single narrative including:  Pink Floyd\, Jimi Hendrix\, Sun Ra\, Parliament-Funkadelic\, Kraftwerk\, Rush\, Devo\, and X-Ray Spex\, while also including the more obscure musicians of the decade who nonetheless helped influence the scene. \nAt the Charleston Library Society\, Jason Heller will be joined in conversation with local journalist/Charleston Library Society’s own Leah Rhyne as the two muse about writing\, research\, rock\, pop\, disco\, and all the music popular in the 70s. If you love music\, too\, this night’s for you. \nCopies of Strange Stars will be available for purchase as Jason Heller’s own carefully curated playlist of the music in his book is played through the evening. \nPraise for Strange Stars: \n“There’s never been anything like this before— a fantastic voyage through rock ‘n’ roll history\, decoding the sci-fi inspiration that’s always lurked at the heart of it. This brilliant book makes you hear whole new strains of weirdness in music you thought you already knew.” – Rob Sheffield\, author of On Bowie \n“Full of cosmic wisdom that will open your mind to alien melodies\, and also make you hear your favorite classic rock and funk in a whole new way… a totally indispensable guide.”  — Charlie Jane Anders\, author of All the Birds in the Sky \n“Fans of popular music and sf alike will thoroughly enjoy this journey through the center of the 1970s.” –Library Journal\, starred review \n“Entertaining and instructive…Sci-fi geeks with a penchant for rock ‘n’ stomp\, prog excess\, and other flavors of pop will enjoy this one.” – Kirkus \n“An adventurous guide through 1970s music zeitgeists\, Heller’s work will pique the interests of those in search of something a little more cosmic.”  – Publishers Weekly \n“Heller explores the music of the 1970s and uncovers sf influences and themes in surprising places… sci-fi buffs and music aficionados will find much to enjoy in this meticulously researched\, entertaining book.” – Booklist \nAbout Jason Heller: \nJason Heller is a Hugo Award-winning writer whose work has appeared in The New Yorker\, Rolling Stone\, Pitchfork\, The Atlantic\, NPR\, Entertainment Weekly\, and others.

SUMMARY:Speaker Series: Christopher Swann
DESCRIPTION:In this gripping literary thriller\, Shadow of the Lions\, Christopher Swann will take you deep into the dark heart of privilege\, secrets\, and lies at an elite boys’ boarding school in Virginia. Atmospheric and full of twists\, this accomplished debut explores the nature of friendship\, betrayal\, and whether it is possible—ever—to escape the past. Swann\, an alumnus of a boarding school himself and now a teacher at a private day school\, brings to his storytelling an insider’s knowledge of the world he creates here\, the closed\, overheated atmosphere of the elite Blackburne School. To RSVP\, call 843-723-9912 or email dreutter@charlestonlibrarysociety.org \nAs the novel begins\, it has been almost ten years since Matthias graduated from Blackburne\, where his roommate and best friend\, Fritz\, vanished into the woods without a trace after the two boys had an argument. Matthias has long been haunted by the idea that he was somehow responsible for Fritz’s disappearance\, and now he finds himself stalled\, a professional failure\, a bad boyfriend\, an incomplete man. When he is offered the opportunity to return to Blackburne to teach English\, he sees it as a chance to put his life back together. But once on campus\, Matthias becomes driven to find out what happened to Fritz\, caught up in events that begin to spiral swiftly out of control. Along the way\, he must confront the shocking death of a student\, Fritz’s powerful Washington\, D.C.\, family\, and the particular politics of a prestigious prep school. \n“All stories have at their heart a mystery\, a question to be answered\,” says Swann. “The question at the heart of this book—what would happen if your best friend disappeared?—is one that haunts Matthias. But just as fascinating to me is what happens to the people left behind in the aftermath. What kind of shadow would such an event cast over your life?” \nIn the spirit of Donna Tartt’s The Secret History\, Shadow of the Lions is a smart mystery but also a late coming-of-age story of a broken man who must come to terms with his past to move on in his life. \nChristopher Swann is chair of the English department at Holy Innocents’ Episcopal School in Atlanta\, where he has taught English for more than 20 years. He holds a PhD in creative writing from Georgia State University and has received honors from Georgia State University\, Washington and Lee University\, and the Heekin Group Foundations’ Tara Fellowship for Short Fiction.

Nansen’s diary entries detail his longing for his wife and family\, his constantly frustrated hopes for release\, and his horror at the especially barbaric treatment reserved for the Jews. The diary brilliantly illuminates Nansen’s daily struggle\, not only to survive\, but to preserve his sanity and maintain his humanity in a world engulfed by fear and hate. \nTimothy Boyce practiced law for many years\, most recently serving as the Managing Partner of the Charlotte\, NC office of Dechert LLP\, a global law firm with offices in 14 countries. He holds an M.B.A. from The Wharton School of Finance\, and a J.D. from the University of Pennsylvania Law School.

SUMMARY:Royal Oak Presents – Behind Closed Doors: Stepping into Bloomsbury Rooms
DESCRIPTION:The Royal Oak Foundation presents Behind Closed Doors: Stepping into Bloomsbury Rooms with NINO STRACHEY \n$30 Special CLS member price (with co-sponsor code: 18FCHLIB) To purchase tickets call 212-480-2889\, x201 or click here. \nHead of Research and Specialist Advice for the National Trust\, Nino Strachey is descended from a family at the heart of the Bloomsbury Group. In her new book\, Rooms of Their Own\, Strachey explores the complicated\, interlocking lives of Virginia Woolf and Vita & Edward Sackville-West through their vivacious and vivid homes. Functioning as the bohemian backdrops for their unconventional lives\, Strachey will explore the homes that expressed each artist’s personality and show us how they forged special relationships. \nThis talk explores the homes of three writers linked to the Bloomsbury Group: Virginia Woolf\, Vita Sackville-West and Eddy Sackville-West. The Bloomsbury Group was a set of writers and artists who met in the Bloomsbury area of London\, challenging the conventions of their Victorian predecessors in person\, and in books like Lytton Strachey’s Eminent Victorians. Linked by a complex web of relationships\, Virginia\, Vita and Eddy created country retreats which expressed their unusual personalities. \nAt Monk’s House\, Virginia Woolf looked forward to the modern age\, favoring the bright colors and bold patterns of her favorite Bloomsbury artists Vanessa Bell and Duncan Grant. At Sissinghurst\, Vita Sackville-West looked back to the past and the Elizabethan age\, filling her rooms with the romantic relics of former lovers. At Knole\, Vita’s first cousin Eddy mixed Sackville heirlooms with the vibrant works of his artist lovers Duncan Grant\, Stephen Tomlin and John Banting. Virginia Woolf combined the characters of Vita and Eddy in her novel Orlando—published in 1928 and set at Knole—creating a hero/heroine who changes their sex over time. \nDescended from a family at the heart of Bloomsbury\, Nino Strachey will offer a personal perspective on the stories revealed in her new book Rooms of Their Own: Eddy Sackville-West\, Virginia Woolf and Vita Sackville-West

SUMMARY:Charleston Mercury Presents: Shay McNeal
DESCRIPTION:The Charleston Mercury presents author Shay McNeal as she speaks about her recent book\, The Road to Trump. To RSVP\, please call 843-723-9912 or email dreutter@charlestonlibrarysociety.org \nA country divided will fall into the abyss it creates.\nThe Road to Trump chronicles the most pressing issues the United States faced over the last five years in an effort to illuminate the prevailing political landscape. McNeal’s columns\, Meet You in the Middle\, published in the Charleston Mercury\, in Charleston\, S.C.\, reveal the raw nature of the state of our nation. The Road to Trump also places on the record McNeal’s insightful analysis of China and Russia as they challenge the United States on the world stage. Moreover\, The Road to Trump clearly illustrates how failure to meet in the middle fueled the successful election of the outsider\, Donald Trump\, and contributed to the resurgence of China and Russia.\nIn January 2016\, her column titled Mourning in America was one of the first analyses indicating that Trump would go the distance. Moreover\, she was the rare columnist at the time who was prescient regarding the 2016 election and called it right\, even before candidate Trump became the Republican Party nominee. \nShay McNeal is a past political consultant\, past president of an advertising and marketing firm as well as an executive in the fashion and retail business where she began her business career.  She has been a guest numerous times on the BBC\, CNN\, and radio shows in the United States and the United Kingdom.\nShay’s last book\, The Secret Plot to Rescue the Tsar\, garnered a full-page review in the Sunday Times (London).  Vogue (UK)\, BookPage and Publishers Weekly\, among others\, weighed in as well. She is an indefatigable researcher who is fearless when it comes to placing valid yet controversial findings on the record.

SUMMARY:Coastal Conservation League Book Launch: Virginia & Dana Beach
DESCRIPTION:Join the Library Society and the Coastal Conservation League as they celebrate the release of A WHOLLY ADMIRABLE THING: Defending Nature and Community on the South Carolina Coast by Virginia and Dana Beach. This event is free and open to the public. To RSVP\, call 843-723-9912 or email dreutter@charlestonlibrarysociety.org \nA few weeks before Hurricane Hugo made landfall in September of 1989\, the South Carolina Coastal Conservation League opened shop in a one-room office in downtown Charleston.  Armed with founder Dana Beach’s personal desktop computer and the local phone book\, the three-person staff sent out its first membership mailing\, rushing to the post office each day to check for responses.  The organization grew from a hundred members that first fall to a thousand the following year and several thousand by the end of the first decade. \nPrior to Hurricane Hugo\, the 1960s\, 70s and 80s had seen a surge of resort and residential growth in the South Carolina Lowcountry\, displacing whole communities of people and wildlife along the coast\, overtaking what had traditionally been a resourced-based economy.  The storm triggered a pause\, a reset\, which the Conservation League seized upon. Lawsuits\, back-room deals and corruption in high places conspired against the public trust at every turn. Nevertheless\, a deep-rooted love of the Lowcountry\, combined with practical opportunism and longstanding friendships cultivated across the generations\, unified and empowered South Carolina conservationists to prevail. \nThe stories in A WHOLLY ADMIRABLE THING chronicle these transformational successes and failures over three decades of community activism\, led by one of the country’s most innovative\, persistent and controversial conservation groups.  The book highlights the Coastal Conservation League’s founding principles and culture\, institutional evolution\, dogged work ethic\, fearless advocacy\, pragmatic politicking\, and mastery of communication and community organizing.  It also features the voices of countless citizens and activists on the front lines—through a mix of narrative\, personal interview and first-person memoir and reflection. \nFinally\, the book reveals the critical importance of place—the biological\, historical\, political and social backdrop of an ancient and troubled region—in shaping a conservation ethic and agenda for the present day.  The history of the Conservation League and its diverse collaborators spotlights a region in the throes of wrenching change: staggering out of the hazy mist of an insular\, pre-modern world of planters\, yeomen farmers and Gullah slave descendants\, into an era dominated by global economic forces and instantaneous communication.  The struggle continues today. It is a never-ending tale of a formidable alliance of courageous citizens\, standing up for wild species and human communities so that all can thrive and endure.
