SUMMARY:Jay Wexler
DESCRIPTION:Jay Wexler will be joining us to discuss his new book Our Non-Christian Nation: How Athiests\, Satanists\, Pagans\, and Others are Demanding Their Rightful Place in Public Life. \nAbout Our Non-Christian Nation \nLess and less Christian demographically\, America is now home to an ever-larger number of people who say they identify with no religion at all. These non-Christians have increasingly been demanding their full participation in public life\, bringing their arguments all the way to the Supreme Court. The law is on their side\, but that doesn’t mean that their attempts are not met with suspicion or outright hostility. In Our Non-Christian Nation\, Jay Wexler travels the country to engage the non-Christians who have called on us to maintain our ideals of inclusivity and diversity. With his characteristic sympathy and humor\, he introduces us to the Summum and their Seven Aphorisms\, a Wiccan priestess who would deck her City Hall with a pagan holiday wreath\, and other determined champions of free religious expression. As Wexler reminds us\, anyone who cares about pluralism\, equality\, and fairness should support a public square filled with a variety of religious and nonreligious voices. The stakes are nothing short of long-term social peace. \nAbout the Author \nA Professor at Boston University School of Law\, Jay Wexler is also a humorist\, short story writer\, and novelist. A one-time clerk to Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg and former lawyer at the US Department of Justice\, he has written for National Geographic\, The Boston Globe\, McSweeney’s Internet Tendency\, Salon\, and many other outlets. His books include When God Isn’t Green (2016) and Holy Hullabaloos.

SUMMARY:Lila Savage
DESCRIPTION:Lila Savage discusses her new novel\, Say Say Say. \nPraise for Say Say Say \n“I cannot think when I Iast read a novel which moved me so deeply. Savage is almost supernaturally alert to the little gestures and transactions we all make as we negotiate our place in the world\, and our relations to each other. Her approach is both unflinching and extraordinarily tender\, so that I came away feeling I had undergone an examination which was somehow both painful and kind. I loved it\, and it has remained with me in a way few other books have ever done.”\n—Sarah Perry\, author of The Essex Serpent \n“Powerful\, thought-provoking—an impressive and affecting debut that had me reflecting on compassion\, gender roles—and what it means to love.”\n—Claire Fuller\, author of Swimming Lessons \n“A gem of a book. A lyrical\, tender\, and profoundly insightful dive into the act of caregiving and its highly charged nexus of love\, duty\, and longing. Lila Savage is an enormous talent; Say Say Say is a mesmerizing tour de force.”\n—Abraham Verghese\, author of Cutting for Stone \nAbout Say Say Say \nElla is nearing thirty\, and not yet living the life she imagined. Her artistic ambitions as a student in Minnesota have given way to an unintended career in caregiving. One spring\, Bryn–a retired carpenter–hires her to help him care for Jill\, his wife of many years. A car accident caused a brain injury that has left Jill verbally diminished; she moves about the house like a ghost of her former self\, often able to utter\, like an incantation\, only the words that comprise this novel’s title. \nAs Ella is drawn ever deeper into the couple’s household\, her presence unwanted but wholly necessary\, she is profoundly moved by the tenderness Bryn shows toward the wife he still fiercely loves. Ella is startled by the yearning this awakens in her\, one that complicates her feelings for her girlfriend\, Alix\, and causes her to look at relationships of all kinds–between partners\, between employer and employee\, and above all between men and women–in new ways. \nTightly woven\, humane and insightful\, tracing unflinchingly the most intimate reaches of a young woman’s heart and mind\, Say Say Say is a riveting story about what it means to love\, in a world where time is always running out. \n
