SUMMARY:Books Sandwiched In: "Kingmaker"
DESCRIPTION:Each year in January and February\, the The Friends of the Southeast Steuben County Library present Books Sandwiched In (BSI)\, a lunchtime book series featuring local speakers reviewing notable works of fiction and nonfiction. Additional support for Books Sandwiched In comes from Card Carrying Books & Gifts.\nIn 2026\, as in recent years\, the program will take place on Wednesdays\, from January 7 through February 11\, at the First Congregational United Church of Christ\, 171 W. Pulteney Street in Corning. The presentations will start promptly at noon.\nPresenters usually speak for 30 minutes or so\, and allow 15-20 minutes for questions. \nThis year’s third book presentation will be Kingmaker: Pamela Harriman’s Astonishing Life of Power\, Seduction\, and Intrigue by Sonia Purnell\, and is presented by Sky Moss.\nFrom the publisher: There are few at any time who have operated as close to the center of power over five decades and two continents\, and there is practically no one in 20th Century politics\, culture\, and fashion whose lives she [Pamela Harriman] did not touch…Written with the novelistic richness and investigative rigor that only Sonia Purnell could bring to this story full of sex\, politics\, yachts\, palaces and fabulous clothes\, KINGMAKER re-asserts Harriman’s rightful place at the heart of history.\nThis is the author’s fourth novel. \nAbout the presenter: Sky Moss earned a BA from the University of Rochester\, and and MA from SUNY Cortland. A professor of history for many years at SUNY Corning Community College\, he has taught Latin American History\, American History I\, American History II\, Comparative Politics\, Modern Africa\, African American History\, Middle East and Islam\, and Contemporary World Affairs.
