SUMMARY:In the Kitchen with Evie McGee Colbert
DESCRIPTION:Following the initial debut at the Gaillard in Sept\, we are pleased to join the Ashley Hall Alumnae Association along with Buxton Books in hosting Evie McGee Colbert for an intimate local’s peek into the stories and makings of this extra special\, and debut\, cookbook. Complete with banter typically only heard at their dining room table\, Does This Taste Funny? includes more than 100 recipes – everything from “Stephen’s Kindergarten Soup” to “The Colbert Bump Cocktail\,” and all with an emphasis on the Colberts’ native Lowcountry cuisine. \nIf you are unable to attend the event\, but would like to purchase one or more signed copies\, please visit Buxton Books here. \nABOUT THE BOOK \n\n\n\n\n\nAs Evie and Stephen explain it\, Does This Taste Funny? had its beginnings in the Covid lockdown. “We were all stuck together and couldn’t go out\, so we cooked. We had all three kids back under one roof for the first time in a long time\, and we had dinner each night as a family. Cooking together became a major source of entertainment.” \nNow\, the Colberts invite us into their kitchen and around their dining room table. Sharing Stephen and Evie’s favorite recipes\, as well as those of their family and friends\, this book offers everything from Party Food (called “party food” because “appetizers” implies something to follow when we all know that\, often\, this is the only course)\, to Seafood\, to Poultry and Meat (“Evie and I have different relationships to meat. I like it. Evie can take it or leave it\, and mostly she leaves it.”)\, to Desserts (“This is one of the largest sections of the book. Evie always reminds me that desserts are a great way to postpone clearing up.”)\, to Drinks (“I love cocktail hour. It feels like a reward for having gone so long without a cocktail”)\, all tied together with playful dialogue between Stephen and Evie and gorgeous shots of their food\, family\, and home. \nABOUT THE AUTHOR \nEvie McGee grew up in Charleston along with husband Stephen Colbert\, but somehow the two didn’t meet until their mid-twenties. McGee Colbert is a graduate of the University of Virginia and the Circle in the Square Theater School. While beginning her career as an actor\, she eventually transitioned to the other side of the footlights and worked for many years in nonprofit theater. Among her various positions\, she was the the director of development for both the Drama League of New York and the Remains Theater of Chicago. She is a founding board member of Montclair Film\, and currently serves as the President of its Board of Directors. In April of 2020\, she was appointed to NJ Governor Phil Murphy’s Restart and Recovery Commission and continues to serve as an arts advocate in that capacity.She has also recently joined the board of the International African American Museum. She and Stephen are the founders of Spartina Industries\, where she serves as Vice President of Spartina Productions and operates with a first-look deal from CBS Studios. Spartina projects include Derek DelGaudio’s In & Of Itself on Hulu\, After Midnight with Taylor Tomlinson and an upcoming series adaptation of The Chronicles of Amber by Roger Zelazny. She lives in New Jersey with her husband and three children.

SUMMARY:Castle Pinckney\, A Definitive History
DESCRIPTION:As the first publication on its subject matter\, and with extensive primary research and archaeological evidence\, the impressive history of Castle Pinckney\, one of Charleston’s iconic but less often discussed landmarks\, is now documented in print. With much of the research coming from resources here at the Library Society\, we could not be more pleased to host the author’s launch of their new work\, Holding Charleston by the Bridle: Castle Pinckney and the Civil War. Join Authors W. Cliff Roberts and Matthew Locke in celebration of this achievement and to discover more about this little island played an important role in the succession turmoil of 1832 and 1850 that led to the 1861 bombardment of Fort Sumter. Given its importance to America’s history\, it is a history long overdue. \nIf you are unable to attend the event\, but would like to purchase one or more signed copies\, please visit Buxton Books here. \nAbout the Book: \nHolding Charleston by the Bridle: Castle Pinckney and the Civil War by Cliff Roberts and Matthew Locke is the first book on the subject\, from the fort’s innovative design as part of America’s “Second System” of coastal fortifications to the modern challenges of preserving its weathered brick walls against rising sea levels. The impressive bastion was constructed as a state-of-the-art seacoast fortress on the eve of the War of 1812. President James Monroe and Gens. Winfield Scott\, Robert E. Lee\, and P. G. T. Beauregard inspected its casemates and barracks. The history of Pinckney is as impressive as its list of visiting VIPs. \nOn the eve of the Civil War\, the London Times informed its readers that Castle Pinckney has “been kept garrisoned\, not to protect Charleston from naval attack from the ocean\, but to serve as a bridle upon the city.” Located on a marshy island in the center of Charleston’s magnificent harbor\, the large cannons on the ramparts of this horseshoe-shaped masonry fort had the ability to command downtown Charleston and the busy wharves along East Bay Street. This inescapable fact made Pinckney an important chess piece in the secession turmoil of 1832 and 1850\, and in the months leading up to the 1861 bombardment of Fort Sumter. \nAbout W. Cliff Roberts Jr.: \nW. Clifford Roberts is a retired businessman and educator and the co-author of Atlanta’s Fighting 42nd: Joseph Johnston’s “Old Guard” (2020). Cliff was raised outside of Washington\, D.C. and has a BA in Southern history from Vanderbilt University (1981) and an MBA from Emory University (1983). An active board member of several historical\, preservation\, and genealogical associations\, Cliff lives with his wife Vicki and dog Hashbrown in downtown Charleston. \nAbout Matthew A. M. Locke: \nMatthew Locke was born and educated in London where he worked as an Executive Officer in the British Civil Service. As a passionate student of the Civil War and living historian\, he visited Charleston in 1999\, fell in love with the city\, and became fascinated with Castle Pinckney. He moved to South Carolina in 2001 and began researching the history of the Castle and Shutes Folley Island. In 2021\, he was appointed as a Guardian of Castle Pinckney and works there with archeologists\, historians\, and conservationists. Matthew\, his wife Jacqueline\, and daughter Abigail live just outside Charleston.

SUMMARY:CLS Book Club // "The Heaven and Earth Grocery Store" by James McBride
DESCRIPTION:CLS Book Club is FREE\, in-person\, and open to the public—and also member-researched and led through thoughtfully curated discussion. Whether you’ve finished the book\, are thinking about starting it\, or couldn’t make it past the halfway point\, please join us. \nRSVP is required via the form below so that we can plan for seating. \nPlease note that the authors of our selections ARE NOT in attendance.  \n~~ This is a rescheduled date\, previously Aug. 7\, if you have already RSPV’d\, your place is held ~~ \nAbout Book Club: \nOffered a few times a year\, the CLS Book Club seeks to explore a wide range of topics\, authors and diversity within its book selections. Under this objective\, Book Club also offers space for conversation\, perspectives and discourse. For The Heaven and Earth Grocery Store\, the ambitious duo\, Sugar Slaubaugh and Mary Gus Smith will present and explore the book’s overarching narrative\, after which the floor will open for questions and discussion. \nAbout the Book: \n\n\nIn 1972\, when workers in Pottstown\, Pennsylvania\, were digging the foundations for a new development\, the last thing they expected to find was a skeleton at the bottom of a well. Who the skeleton was and how it got there were two of the long-held secrets kept by the residents of Chicken Hill\, the dilapidated neighborhood where immigrant Jews and African Americans lived side by side and shared ambitions and sorrows. Chicken Hill was where Moshe and Chona Ludlow lived when Moshe integrated his theater and where Chona ran the Heaven & Earth Grocery Store. When the state came looking for a deaf boy to institutionalize him\, it was Chona and Nate Timblin\, the Black janitor at Moshe’s theater and the unofficial leader of the Black community on Chicken Hill\, who worked together to keep the boy safe. As these characters’ stories overlap and deepen\, it becomes clear how much the people who live on the margins of white\, Christian America struggle and what they must do to survive. When the truth is finally revealed about what happened on Chicken Hill and the part the town’s white establishment played in it\, McBride shows us that even in dark times\, it is love and community—heaven and earth—that sustain us. Bringing his masterly storytelling skills and his deep faith in humanity to The Heaven & Earth Grocery Store\, James McBride has written a novel as compassionate as Deacon King Kong and as inventive as The Good Lord Bird. \n\n\nFor a copy of the book\, check out our catalog here\, or shop local at Buxton Books.
