SUMMARY:Joyce Carol Oates
DESCRIPTION:Joyce Carol Oates \n\n\n\n\nreads from her new collection of short stories\, Beautiful Days\, which includes the 2017 Pushcart Prize-winning “Undocumented Alien.” \n\n\n\n\n\nTuesday\, March 6\, 2018 – 7:30pm\n\n\n\n\n\nIn the diverse stories of Beautiful Days\, Joyce Carol Oates explores the most secret\, intimate\, and unacknowledged interior lives of characters not unlike ourselves\, who assert their independence in acts of bold and often irrevocable defiance. \n“Fleuve Bleu” exemplifies the rich sensuousness of Oates’s prose as lovers married to other persons vow to establish\, in their intimacy\, a ruthlessly honest\, truth-telling authenticity missing elsewhere in their complicated lives\, with unexpected results. In “Big Burnt\,” set on lushly rendered Lake George in the Adirondacks\, a cunningly manipulative university professor exploits a too-trusting woman in a way she could never have anticipated. In a more experimental but no less intimate mode\, “Les beaux jours” examines the ambiguities of an intensely erotic\, exploitative relationship between a “master” artist and his adoring young female model. And the tragic “Undocumented Alien” depicts a young African student enrolled in an American university who is suddenly stripped of his student visa and forced to undergo a terrifying test of courage. \nIn these stories\, as elsewhere in her fiction\, Joyce Carol Oates exhibits her fascination with the social\, psychological\, and moral boundaries that govern our behavior–until the hour when they do not. \nJoyce Carol Oates is a recipient of the National Medal of Humanities\, the National Book Critics Circle Ivan Sandrof Lifetime Achievement Award\, the National Book Award\, and the PEN/Malamud Award for Excellence in Short Fiction\, and has been several times nominated for the Pulitzer Prize. She has written some of the most enduring fiction of our time\, including the national bestsellers We Were the Mulvaneys\, Blonde\, which was nominated for the National Book Award\, and the New York Times bestseller The Falls\, which won the 2005 Prix Femina. Her most recent novel is A Book of American Martyrs. She is the Roger S. Berlind Distinguished Professor of the Humanities at Princeton University and has been a member of the American Academy of Arts and Letters since 1978.

SUMMARY:KPFA Radio 94.1FM present Michio Kaku: The Future of Humanity
DESCRIPTION:In The Future of Humanity\, Dr. Michio Kaku —#1 bestselling author of The Future of the Mind — traverses the frontiers of astrophysics\, artificial intelligence\, and technology to offer a stunning vision of man’s future in space\, from settling Mars to traveling to distant galaxies. \nFormerly the domain of fiction\, moving human civilization to the stars is increasingly becoming a scientific possibility— and a necessity. Whether in the near future due to climate change and the depletion of finite resources\, or in the distant future due to catastrophic cosmological events\, we all must face the reality that humans will one day need to leave planet Earth to survive as a species. \nWorld-renowned physicist and futurist Michio Kaku explores in detail the process by which humanity may gradually move away from this planet and develop a sustainable civilization in outer space. He reveals how cutting-edge developments in robotics\, nanotechnology\, and biotechnology may allow us to terraform and build habitable cities on Mars. He then takes us beyond the solar system to nearby stars\, which may soon be reached by nanoships traveling on laser beams at near the speed of light. Finally\, he brings us beyond our galaxy\, and even beyond our universe\, to the possibility of immortality\, showing us how humans may someday be able to leave our bodies entirely and laser-port to new havens in space. With irrepressible enthusiasm and wonder\, Dr. Kaku takes readers on a fascinating journey to a future in which humanity may finally fulfill its long-awaited destiny among the stars. \nMICHIO KAKU is a professor of physics at the City University of New York\, cofounder of string field theory\, and the author of several widely acclaimed science books\, including Hyperspace\, Beyond Einstein\, Physics of the Impossible\, and Physics of the Future. He is the science correspondent for CBS’s This Morning\, host of the radio programs Science Fantastic and Explorations in Space\, and a regular broadcaster on KPFA. \nPHILIP MALDARI\, veteran KPFA broadcaster\, hosts the two-hour Sunday Morning Show every week.
