SUMMARY:Virtual Class: Wendy Walsh - Continuing the Journey with Dante's Purgatorio (via Zoom)
DESCRIPTION:Continue the journey with Dante on Zoom! Join Wendy Walsh for the reading and study of Purgatorio\, the second cantica of Dante’s Commedia. \nDante and Virgil begin their climb of the immense Mountain of Purgatory in the middle of the unpopulated waters of the Southern Hemisphere. Before reaching Purgatory proper\, they travel through Ante Purgatory and then up through the seven terraces\, each one reflecting one of the seven deadly sins. Their goal is the Earthly Paradise at the top of the mountain and along the way they will meet the many saved souls who are happily purifying themselves for their ascent to Paradise.  Purgatory is “where the soul of man is cleansed\,/ made worthy to ascend to Heaven. (dove l’umano spirito si purga/e di salire al ciel diventa degno” Canto I\, 5-6.) \nWendy Walsh has a PhD in Italian Literature from UC Berkeley. She has been teaching Italian language and literature since 1979.

SUMMARY:Virtual Event: George Saunders and Tobias Wolff
DESCRIPTION:bout the Event \nPart hilarious prophet\, part tender interpreter of the human condition\, Booker Prize winner George Saunders (Lincoln in the Bardo) has been called “the only writer who predicted 2020.” His tales\, which generally are “not like anything anyone has written before” (The Atlantic)\, mix razor-sharp absurdism with a huge heart. They’re routinely celebrated with headlines like “George Saunders has written the best book you’ll read this year” (that was the New York Times on Tenth of December in 2013) or “a luminous feat of generosity and humanism” (Colson Whitehead on Lincoln in the Bardo in 2016). Or\, as Khaled Hosseini put it\, “Saunders makes you feel like you’re reading fiction for the first time.” \nHow does he do it? In our once-in-a-lifetime live\, virtual event\, Saunders teams up with his dear friend and mentor\, Tobias Wolff (This Boy’s Life) — one of Barack Obama’s National Medal of the Arts honorees — to celebrate Saunders’ first book in four years\, A Swim in a Pond in the Rain: In Which Four Russians Give a Master Class on Writing\, Reading\, and Life. They’ll discuss how to channel the craft of four Russian greats (Chekhov\, Turgenev\, Tolstoy\, and Gogol) to create lives — both on and off the page — imbued with the profound humanity these masters awaken in readers: a recognition of our fragile\, surreal\, frequently funny\, sometimes tragic\, always beautiful existence. Join these two literary legends (and their favorite literary ancestors) for an unforgettable Friday night as together we kick off a new year with warmth\, wit\, and wisdom. \nTickets include an exclusive signed copy of A Swim in a Pond in the Rain! Note\, this event will be a one-time-only\, live\, interactive virtual experience\, not to be re-aired\, and both space and signed books are limited. Get your tickets now!  \nTickets are available here.
