SUMMARY:Books Sandwiched In: "Wild Thing: A Life of Paul Gaugin"
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 fourth book presentation will be Wild Thing: A Life of Paul Gaugin by Sue Prideaux\, and is presented by Katherine Fultz.\nFrom the publisher: In the first full biography of Paul Gauguin in thirty years\, Sue Prideaux illuminates the extraordinary oeuvre of a visionary artist vital to the French avant-garde. The result is “a brilliantly readable and compassionate study of Gauguin—not just as a painter\, sculptor\, carver and potter\, but as a human soul perpetually searching for what is always just out of reach” (Artemis Cooper\, Spectator).\nThis is the author’s fourth biography.. \nAbout the presenter: Katherine Fultz has many interests and skills: she is illustrator and surface designer\, teaching Digital Art at 171 Cedar Arts Center; and she is an education specialist at the Rockwell Museum. Katherine earned a BA\, MA and a PhD in Anthropology from the University of Michigan\, and an MSEd in General Education from Elmira College.

SUMMARY:Online Author Talk | Liz Moore : Secrets and Second Chances
DESCRIPTION:We are thrilled to welcome Liz Moore to discuss her latest work\, The God of the Woods\, an instant New York Times bestseller and one of NPR’s 2024 “Books We Love” highlights. [This book will also be the final book of the Library’s Books Sandwiched In series on February 11.]\nEarly morning\, August 1975: a camp counselor discovers an empty bunk. Its occupant\, Barbara Van Laar\, has gone missing. Barbara isn’t just any thirteen-year-old: she’s the daughter of the family that owns the summer camp and employs most of the region’s residents. And this isn’t the first time a Van Laar child has disappeared. Barbara’s older brother similarly vanished fourteen years ago\, never to be found.\nAs a panicked search begins\, a thrilling drama unfolds. Chasing down the layered secrets of the Van Laar family and the blue-collar community working in its shadow\, Moore’s multi-threaded story invites readers into a rich and gripping dynasty of secrets and second chances. It is Liz Moore’s most ambitious and wide-reaching novel yet. \nYou can register for this free\, live\, online talk here.\nThis is one of a series of free\, live-streamed author talks made possible through the Library’s partnership with Library Speakers Consortium (LSC). You can learn more about upcoming presentations on our LSC microsite\, as well as watch recordings of presentations that you were unable to attend live. \nAbout the Author: Liz Moore is the author of five novels: The Words of Every Song\, Heft\, The Unseen World\, the New York Times bestselling Long Bright River\, and The God of the Woods. A winner of the 2014 Rome Prize in Literature\, she lives in Philadelphia and teaches in the MFA program in Creative Writing at Temple University. \n\n\n
