Growing up as a naive, privileged young woman from Boston's elite North Shore, Frinde Maher's early opposition to the Vietnam War led to a fervent decade of 1960s left-wing activism. Maher's participation included organizing for welfare reform in Roxbury, working in a Somerville light bulb factory, leafletting at anti-war demonstrations, selling socialist newspapers at local factory gates, and finally joining a self-styled revolutionary communist party. Along the way, she worked as an American History teacher, interpreting these diverse, conflicting stories with her students in the classroom. In her new memoir Class Encounters, Maher captures the stresses, nuances, complex choices and serendipities of navigating different social worlds that, themselves, were being shaken by the multiple revolts of the 1960s. America has long underplayed social class, while amplifying it in practice. In this talk, Frinde Maher - Professor Emerita of Education and Women's Studies at Wheaton College - reminds us how central "class encounters" are to the American experience.

In Conversation with Jean Hey

Twice Born opens with the death of Hester's father, biographer Justin Kaplan. Despite his relatively prolitic output, Justin rarely wrote, or said, much about himself-even to his daughter. Standing at his open casket, Hester has the realization that while alive, her father never looked her in the eyes. Hester takes on the challenge of piecing together as intimate a biography of her own father as possible, comparing his story to the lives of his biographical subjects and dissecting the various personas he presents to the world-from which the name "dad," "daddy," or even "father" is conspicuously and painfully absent. Parallel to Justin's story runs Hester's own journey of development as a writer and a thinker, which begins in the shadow of not only her talented father, but also her novelist mother, and the fiercely protective union the two of them had built, often to the exclusion of their own children. In sensitive, intimate writing, Kaplan paints a rich picture of the twentieth century literary world that she grew up in, all while reflecting on the deceptive nature of memory, the loneliness of creative pursuits, and the dovetailing paradoxes of biographical and autobiographical writing.

Hester Kaplan is the author of novels and story collections including The Edge of Marriage, winner of the Flannery Connor Award for Short Fiction. Her fiction and nonfiction have appeared in literary journals and anthologies, including The Best American Short Stories series.

She is the recipient of two NEA awards, and was named a Mark Twain Fellow for Twice Born. Jean Hey's work has been published in The New York Times Sunday Magazine, The Plain Dealer, the Chicago Tribune, Solstice Literary Magazine, The MacGuttin, Arrowsmith Journal, and the Los Angeles Review of Books.

Born and educated in South Africa, Jean worked as a journalist on two major newspapers in Johannesburg and Cape Town, and as a correspondent for The Times of London, reporting on Black education.

Marilyn began photographing as a teenager in Los Angeles drawn to finding interesting people on the street. Later in Galveston, Texas she taught photography for the Osher Lifelong Learning Institute (OLLI), ran a photography business, and worked as an epidemiology researcher at the University of Texas Medical Branch. Her role there eventually merged science and art when her photography became part of the institution’s outreach, resulting in two published books, Faces of Aging I and II. Marilyn’s work has been recognized with fellowships and awards, including the Houston Center for Photography and Rice University, and is in permanent museum collections such as the Museum of Fine Arts, Houston. She divides her time between Cape Cod and Los Angeles.

Buckley

In 1951, with the publication of God and Man at Yale, a scathing attack on his alma mater, twenty-tive-year- old William F. Buckley, Jr., seized the public stage-and commanded it for the next half century as he led a new generation of conservative activists and ideologues to the peak of political power and cultural influence. Ten years before his death in 2008, Buckley chose prize-winning biographer Sam Tanenhaus to tell the full, uncensored story of his life and times, granting him extensive interviews and exclusive access to his most private papers. Thus began a deep investigation into the vast and often hidden universe of Bill Buckley and the modern conservative revolution. At a crucial moment in American history, Buckley. offers a gripping and powerfully relevant story about the birth of modern politics and those who shaped it.

Sam Tanenhaus, the former editor of The New York Times Book Review, is the author of the national bestsellers Whittaker Chambers: A Biography (winner of the Los Angeles Times Book Prize and a finalist for both the National Book Award and the Pulitzer Prize) and The Death of Conservatism. His feature articles and essays have appeared in The Atlantic, The New Yorker, The New York Times Magazine, Vanity Fair, and many other publications in the United States and abroad.

TURNING TO BIRDS

Most people don't really know birds, or rather, they aren't aware of them. Lili Taylor used to be one of those people. During a much-needed break from her work as an actor, Lili sought silence and instead found the bustling, symphonic world of birds that had always existed around her. Through a series of beautifully crafted essays, Taylor shares her intimate encounters with the birds that have captured her heart and imagination, from tracking flitting woodpeckers through oak trees to spotting majestic blue jays perched on a Manhattan fire escape; from the exhilaration of witnessing a migratory flock from the top of the Empire State Building to the quiet joy of observing a nest of hatchlings in her own backyard. Throughout Turning to Birds, Taylor encourages mindfulness, inviting readers to be present and fully engaged with the world around them.

Lili Taylor is an award-winning movie, television, and theater actor. In the birding world, Lili is a board member of the National Audubon Society, the American Birding Association, and the New York City Bird Alliance. Lili nests in Brooklyn and upstate New York with her husband, the memoirist and poet Nick Flynn, and their daughter.

Summer ‘71

Inflation rages. Crime is rising. Abortion rights take center stage at the Supreme Court. China poses an existential threat. Black lives are under attack. The president battles the press as he seeks to subvert not just the political order but the rule of law itself. This is the Summer of '7l-a pivotal, operatic season of hope and despair, missed opportunities and era-changing decisions. More than a half-century later, it's difficult to overstate the importance of events that defined

That the American experience during that fateful five- month period spanning May to September 1971. Summer of 71 brings it all to the page through first- person accounts that are only now becoming available: the papers, diaries, and oral histories of key players. Award-winning journalist and author John A. Jenkins witnessed many of the events himself, and draws on a multitude of sources, including Nixon's White House tapes, to tell the story of that time as no one else could. Here is both a fascinating, brilliantly researched read in its own right, and a critical lens through which to view today's political discord.

For many years now, Dick Morrill, a local treasure and well-known raconteur, has been wowing audiences at Mosquito Story Slams and elsewhere with his true stories from a lifetime of hilarious and sometimes hair-raising adventures. Like the time he taxied a Boeing 707 through a blinding snowstorm, having had no previous experience doing such a thing even in good weather. And the time he figured out how to drive two cars at the same time. A stroke of genius! And you’ll never forget his completely original take on growing up Catholic.

As an actor, Dick was one of the founders of the Wellfleet Harbor Actors’ Theatre and has appeared on many local stages, including the Academy Playhouse, Cape Cod Repertory Theatre, the Harwich Junior Theater, the Harbor Stage, WHAT for Kids and, of course, WHAT. He was also a founding member of the Narrow Land String Band and will be joined this evening by fellow Narrow Land-er Stephen Russell, on guitar and vocals.

A splendid time is guaranteed for all. All ADULT audiences that is.

For those who have experienced the beauty and wonder of Wellfleet ponds over the seasons, they are indeed special places - sharing commonalities in their origins, historical use, and pristine natural surroundings, but each unique and valued for their individual qualities, nuances, and charms. Over the past few years, news and information from various sources have spoken to the need to address water quality issues in the ponds across Cape Cod. Learn more about the unique features of Wellfleet's kettle ponds, what the issues are for our ponds, how our ponds are being monitored, what the data from monitoring can tell us, and what we can do to help keep them healthy for years to come.

Even though the United States has long called itself a "country of immigrants" and proclaimed that "all men are created equal," it has also always been a country of status, where different people have lived under different laws and held different rights. Xenophobia, deportations, and legal exclusions may be in today's headlines, but these policies have deep roots in our country's history. This talk, presented by historian, author, and activist Avi Chomsky, will examine some of the myths that underlie our national debates about immigration, the particular factors shaping immigration- and opposition to immigration-today, and the ideas and goals behind MAGA anti-immigrant policies.

Swallow Tail

Emily Ross in conversation with Anjali Mitter Duva

In the gritty seaside town of Quincy, Massachusetts, the killing of a teenager on her daughter's dance team plunges Detective Samantha Star into the trauma of her abduction twenty years before. As clues point to a serial killer obsessed with Surrealism and Greek myth, Sam must unravel the mystery of her own kidnapping to solve the crime-before her daughter is next. At stake are not just the teenagers lives, but also Sam's identity as a detective and an artist, and a community's chance at healing. Swallowtail is the moving story of a woman's journey to free herself from the trauma of her past, and a thought-provoking exploration of violent representations of women in myth and art. Swallowtail is a perfect book for fans of Mare of Easttown and Dennis Lehane!

Emily Ross is the author of the mystery thriller Swallowtail and the International Thriller Writers Thriller Awards finalist Half in Love With Death. She won the Al Blanchard Best Story Award for her short story, "Let the Chips Fall," which appeared in Devil's Snare: Best New England Crime Stories 2024. She is a graduate of Grub Street's Novel Incubator and lives in Quincy, MA, with her husband and Obi-Wan Kenobi, their very playful cat.

The Ride

On April 18, 1775, a Boston-based silversmith, engraver, and anti-British political operative named Paul Revere set out on a borrowed horse to fulfill a dangerous but crucial mission: to alert American colonists of advancing British troops, which would seek to crush their nascent revolt. Revere was not the only rider that night, and indeed, he had completed at least 18 previous rides across New England and other colonies, disseminating intelligence about British movements. But this ride was like no other, and its consequences in the months and years to come - as the American Revolution morphed from isolated skirmishes to a full-fledged war - became one of our founding legends. In The Ride, Kostya Kennedy presents a dramatic new narrative of the events of April 18 and 19, 1775, informed by fresh primary and secondary source research into archives, family letters and diaries, contemporary accounts, and more. Thrillingly written in a dramatic, unstoppable narrative, The Ride re-tells an essential American story for a new generation of readers.

Kostya Kennedy is the Editor in Chief of Premium Publishing at People Inc. A former Senior Writer and Editor at Sports Illustrated, he is the author of True: The Four Seasons of Jackie Robinson as well as the New York Times bestsellers 56: Joe DiMaggio and the Last Magic Number in Sports and Pete Rose: An American Dilemma. All three books won the CASEY Award for Best Baseball Book of the Year. He has taught at Columbia and New York University, and he lives in Westchester County, New York.

Time: 10:30am-12pm

For many Americans when they think of boats on the water, Noah's Ark springs to mind. World literature, often with illustrations, is a starting point when we recall images of life on waters, both fact and fiction,( think of Kon Tiki, Moby Dick, Huckleberry Finn) Here in Massachusetts we have the USS Constitution, launched in 1797 and still afloat in Boston Harbor.

Cultural traditions, religion, commerce, have been a part of nautical visions that began in Egypt and continues today. Illustrated books, poetry, fact and fiction, movies, music and the theatre are interwoven with our thoughts of life on the water. Here on Cape Cod we have much to consider, one of the reasons for this class. The history of New England, even including Vermont's Lake Champlain, is replete with source material.
