Salutations,

 

Otis is weary of winter.  But it’s Cleveland, ya gotta be tough.  So, we have book signings, art openings, and a donation collection in honor of International Women’s Day and Literacy Advocacy Month.  ‘Cause you gotta get out of the house, even if it is winter.

Saturday, March 22, 2-4pm

A new book of essays about life in the Rust Belt, by the author of All the Way Home. Award-winning author and journalist David Giffels explores the meaning of identity and place, hamburgers, thrift stores, and the heartbreak of basketball in this collection of wry, irreverent essays. Intelligent, humorous, and warm, The Hard Way on Purpose is about coming of age in the Midwest, and the stubborn, optimistic, proud, and resourceful people who thrive there.

Tenth of DecemberGeorge Saunders: The Tenth of December
Thursday, March 27, 2014, 7pm

~ fourth Thursdays ~
George Saunders' first short-story collection in six years, Tenth of December, is as profound and moving as it is entertaining. Saunders' wonderful ability to portray a character's inner monologue--the secret voices, the little fantasies, the inside jokes, the spots of sadness--might be his greatest talent as a writer. But he is also expert at parceling out details to hook the reader and nudge the story in whatever direction he wants it to go. While these stories are generally more straightforward than we’re used to seeing from this author, the turns they take are constantly surprising.

Live Music
GJHGene's Jazz Hot
Thursday, March 27, 7pm

~ fourth Thursdays, odd months ~
Our favorite house band kicks up some lively tunes at the end of March.  Gene Epstein on bass, Bill Kenny on clarinet, Reed Simon on violin, and Kevin Richards on guitar.  We dare you not to tap your toes. 

Donations for the band appreciated.

 

Book Signing
BilgereGeorge Bilgere, Imperial
Thursday, April 3, 7-8pm

~ special event ~
In Imperial, George Bilgere's sixth collection of poetry, he continues his exploration of the beauties, mysteries, and absurdities of being middle-aged and middle-class in mid-America. In poems that range from the Cold War anxieties of the 1950s to the perils and predicaments of an aging Boomer in a post-9/11 world, Bilgere's rueful humor and slippery syntax become a trapdoor that at any moment can plunge the reader into the abyss. In Bilgere's world a yo-yo morphs into an emblem for the atomic bomb. A spot of cancer flames into the Vietnam War. And the death of a baseball player reminds us, in this age of disbelief, of the importance--the necessity--of myth.
