SUMMARY:Virtual Lecture: French Novelist's Return from History's Dustbin
DESCRIPTION:Sponsored by The Grolier Club \nFree and Open to the Public on Zoom: Dec 7\, 6:00pm Eastern time \nRegister here: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/virtual-lecture-french-novelists-return-from-historys-dustbin-tickets-719361448457?aff=ebdsoporgprofile \nThe French 19th-century writer Fanny Reybaud has been relegated to the dustbin of literary history\, even in her homeland\, but not necessarily due to lack of talent. Her works included short stories\, poems and 30 novels\, which were translated into English\, Spanish\, and even Arabic during her lifetime. Her popularity rivaled that of her contemporary\, George Sand. Grolier member Barbara Basbanes Richter will lecture on detective work about Reybaud. The lecture pieces together the author’s successes and failures\, both personal and professional; other authors who exploited the lack of clear and consistent plagiarism laws in 19th-century France by claiming her work as their own; and hypotheses as to why Reybaud’s books faded from favor. This presentation will also explore Reybaud’s crowning literary achievement\, Mademoiselle de Malepeire\, recently translated into English by Barbara Basbanes Richter for the first time in over 160 years. Set on the eve of the French Revolution\, it is a story told through the voices of various men who know\, love\, and hate a misunderstood woman who reads forbidden books in secret and then acts upon her primal impulses. Readers\, however\, will recognize an author examining female identity and independence in a slim\, well-executed\, and highly readable volume. Barbara Basbanes Richter founded DIYBook\, an affordable and easy-to-use book writing program\, and In Ink Ghostwriting\, helping politicians\, pundits\, scientists\, CEOs\, professional athletes\, and others get their stories into print. Her work has appeared in The Wall Street Journal\, New York Daily News\, Fine Books & Collections\, and The Sewanee Review\, among other outlets. \n

SUMMARY:Virtual Tour and Curator Q&A: The Best-Read Army in the World
DESCRIPTION:Sponsored by The Grolier Club \nVirtual Tour of “Best Read Army” followed by a live Q&A with curator Molly Guptill Manning via Zoom. \nDuring World War II\, one of the most important weapons U.S. troops wielded was the written word. At a time when propaganda and censorship choked free thought\, the U.S. military fought against these repressions by disseminating over one billion books\, magazines\, and newspapers to troops worldwide. “As popular as pin-up girls\,” these publications provided an escape from war\, information that would diffuse falsehoods\, and reminders of home. Reading was so prevalent among the troops that the New York Post declared that the United States had “the best-read army in the world.” \nOn display at the Grolier Club are the panoply of publications read by America’s foot soldiers during World War II. Small\, lightweight\, and ubiquitous\, these literary novelties include miniaturized versions of popular magazines and newspapers\, propaganda leaflets\, and the smallest mass-produced paperbacks in history\, the “Armed Services Editions.” With these books tucked in their pockets\, American soldiers invaded Europe bearing titles and authors that had been banned and burned by the Nazis. When Congress attempted to ban certain books from the military\, troops and the American public vehemently resisted\, and the law was swiftly amended. Words were weapons\, and the best way to fight repressions was to read. \nRegister for the Virtual Tour: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/virtual-tour-and-curator-qa-the-best-read-army-in-the-world-tickets-686572967227?aff=ebdsoporgprofile

SUMMARY:A Collection of Early English Books: Reading in the Age of Shakespeare
DESCRIPTION:Sponsored by The Book Club of California \nAn in-person and virtual presentation by Paul Chrzanowski\, book collector \nBook collector Paul Chrzanowski donated his collection of nearly 150 early English books to the UCLA William Andrews Clark Memorial Library. \nThe collection includes copies of the second and fourth folio editions of Shakespeare’s collected plays (1632 and 1685); plays extracted from the first and third folios; Robert Allott’s England’s Parnassus (1600) with Shakespeare excerpts; and a quarto play\, Parts 2 and 3 of Henry the Sixth (1619). \nThe presentation is not focused on these works. Rather it introduces books on wide-ranging topics that illustrate readers’ interests at the time—highlighting from the collection books of importance\, books of great rarity\, books with special provenance\, and oddities. This presentation explores “books that Shakespeare might have read.” \nZoom registration: https://us02web.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_I8svYdg-QQydxjhE_dCpGA

SUMMARY:Book Anatomy: The Body Politics of Indigenous Book History
DESCRIPTION:Sponsored by The Grolier Club \n\n\nDr. Amy Gore\, assistant professor of English at North Dakota State University\, will discuss the connections between books\, bodies\, and Indigenous book history at the release of her latest monograph\, Book Anatomy: Body Politics and the Materiality of Indigenous Book History (University of Massachusetts Press\, 2023). From a book’s “spine” to its “appendix\,” bibliographers use a language of the body that reveals our intimate connection with books. Yet books do more than describe bodies—they embody a frontline of colonization in which Indigenous authors battle the public perception and reception of Indigenous peoples. Starting with John Rollin Ridge’s The Life and Adventures of Joaquín Murieta (1854) as the first novel published by a Native author and moving to other first entries of Indigenous literary production\, Amy Gore calls attention to the negotiations between books and bodies embedded within Indigenous literary history. Bringing Indigenous book history more firmly into conversations with mainstream narratives about the history of the book\, her research claims books themselves as a source of embodied power for early Native American authors. \nModerated by Erin McGuirl\, Executive Director\, Bibliographical Society of America

SUMMARY:FABS Bindings Zoom Group
DESCRIPTION:Sponsored by FABS \nNOVEMBER 20 \nThe Bindings special interest group meets at 4:30-5:50pm Pacific/7:30-8:50pm Eastern on the third Monday of the month. \nTHE TREVELYAN MISCELLANY WITH PETER GERATY \nJoin FABS members interested in Bindings for a Presentation and Discussion about the Trevelyon Miscellany with Peter Geraty. The facsimile limited edition Trevelyon Miscellany was printed and bound to celebrate the 75th anniversary of the Folger Shakespeare Library. Of the edition of two thousand\, fifty were bound by hand in velvet at Praxis Bindery over the winter of 2006 – 2007. The project involved rethinking how one can bind an edition of books. New methods had to be developed to handle a large volume like this\, such as sewing a “case binding” on raised cords. Old methods for stamping on velvet had to be rediscovered. \nThis program will not be recorded. \nThe FABS Special Interest Group: Binding meets every third Monday of the month ~ \nTo receive a link contact Jennifer Larson at info@fabsocieties.org

SUMMARY:I. B. Singer's 'Writings on Yiddish & Yiddishkayt'
DESCRIPTION:Sponsored by The Grolier Club \n\n\nScholars David Stromberg and Aaron Lansky will discuss a new book\,Isaac Bashevis Singer’s Writings on Yiddish and Yiddishkayt\, The War Years\, 1939-1945 (White Goat Press). November 11 would have been the 120th birthday of the late Nobel Prize winner Isaac Bashevis Singer. This collection\, edited and translated by David Stromberg\, editor of the Singer Literary Trust\, is the first in a three-volume series. It features 25 essays that Singer\, then relatively unknown\, originally published under pseudonyms in the Forverts\, the world’s oldest Yiddish newspaper. The book’s chronological arrangement reveals shifts in Singer’s perspective as history unfolded. He was driven to write in an urgent tone as a whole world\, a way of life\, a cultural treasure bound up with Yiddish and Yiddishkayt\, were all going up in flames. For this event\, some of Singer’s original Yiddish works from the Yiddish Book Center’s collection will be on display along with an important artifact of Singer’s earliest work. \nDavid Stromberg\, the Jerusalem-based editor of the Isaac Bashevis Singer Literary Trust\, has written books including Narrative Faith: Dostoevsky\, Camus\, and Singer (University of Delaware Press) and Idiot Love and the Elements of Intimacy (Palgrave Macmillan)\, and he edited a collection of Singer’s essays\, Old Truths and New Clichés (Princeton University Press) and a children’s story collection\, In the Land of Happy Tears: Yiddish Tales for Modern Times (Delacorte). He has contributed fiction\, journalism\, personal essays\, scholarly research\, and translations of Singer’s work to The New Yorker\, Los Angeles Review of Books\, American Scholar\, and American Journal of Psychoanalysis\, among other outlets. He will be in conversation with Aaron Lansky\, founder and president of the Yiddish Book Center in Amherst\, Mass.\, a nonprofit organization working to recover\, celebrate\, and regenerate Yiddish and modern Jewish literature and culture. White Goat Press\, the Center’s imprint\, publishes newly translated work in all genres of fiction and nonfiction. The Center grew out of Lansky’s discovery in the late 1970s of vast numbers of Yiddish books being discarded by younger Jews who could not read their ancestors’ language. Since his first public appeal for unwanted Yiddish books in 1980\, when scholars believed just 70\,000 volumes were extant and recoverable\, more than a million volumes have been gathered at the Center. Lansky has earned degrees from Hampshire College\, McGill University\, Amherst College\, the State University of New York\, and Hebrew Union College; received a so-called “genius grant” from the MacArthur Foundation in 1989; and wrote a bestseller in 2005\, Outwitting History: The Amazing Adventures of a Man Who Rescued a Million Yiddish Books. \n\nRegister here: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/virtual-lecture-i-b-singers-writings-on-yiddish-yiddishkayt-tickets-626559766127?aff=ebdsoporgprofile

SUMMARY:FABS Handpress Zoom: David Levy on The Game of Trictrac and Eugene Flamm on Vigo's 1514 Practica in arte chirurgica
DESCRIPTION:Sponsored by FABS \nThe FABS Handpress Zoom Group meets the second Monday of the month from 7:30-8:30pm Eastern to discuss printed works before 1800. All are welcome. \nDavid Levy: Three Pairs of Books on the Game of Trictrac?\nTrictrac is a French game played on a backgammon board\, popular from the early 17th century into the 19th. It has a rich literature of instructional books\, often charmingly illustrated. With the premise that looking at two books side-by-side can reveal more than looking at each individually\, David Levy will share three pairs of books on the game of trictrac from the 18th century. The focus will be on the publishing and reading history of the books rather than on the game itself. \nEugene Flamm: A Question of Priority Concerning the 1514 Edition of Giovanni da Vigo’s Practica in arte chirurgica.\nThe presentation will focus on two differing issues of the 1514 work by Giovanni da Vigo- Practica in arte chirurgica that appeared on the same day from the same printer but with differences in format and appearance.  This book is one of the major surgical works between that of Guy de Chauliac in the XIVth Century and the mid- XVIth Century.  It is hoped that the group attending the session will be able to generate an opinion as to the priority of these two issues as well as an explanation for publication of two issues of the work on the same day. \nTo register and receive a link\, contact Jennifer Larson at info@fabsocieties.org \n

SUMMARY:The Deserts of California: A California Field Atlas
DESCRIPTION:Sponsored by The Book Club of California \nMONDAY\, October 23\, 2023\nThe Deserts of California\, a California Field Atlas\n6:00 PM – 7:15 PM Pacific\nVirtual presentation \nWith climate breakdown heating up and desertification looming over the horizon\, Obi Kaufmann leads curious adventurers on a voyage into the sage-and-ocher landscapes of the American West’s world-famous desert regions this fall in his revelatory and sumptuously illustrated new volume The Deserts of California: A California Field Atlas. As philosophical as it is geophysical\, this journey blends science and art in Kaufmann’s signature style to throw into relief ecological insights greater than either might yield alone. Through expressionistic mapmaking\, wildlife renderings\, and geographic conservation guides\, Kaufmann explores the marvels of and threats to these resilient yet sensitive ecosystems. \n“The Deserts of California presumes that hope\, like healing\, relies on time\,” writes Kaufmann. “If there is time\, there is hope. Although every desert habitat type is threatened\, very little of it is yet extinct. Despite the complexity of the threat\, everywhere there is precedent for resurgence.” \nOf a piece with his best-selling books The Forests of California (2020) and The Coasts of California (2022)\, The Deserts of California (October 2023) rounds out Kaufmann’s expansive California Lands Trilogy. Individually and collectively\, these volumes set out to transform entrenched colonialist attitudes toward the American West\, and transform our concept of nature from a resource for extraction to a shared and cherished inheritance. \nAn in-person and virtual presentation by Obi Kaufmann\, author\, illustrator\, and naturalist \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nRegister to attend the virtual presentation on Zoom

SUMMARY:Gutenberg\, Morgan\, and Greene: Building the Bookman’s Paradise
DESCRIPTION:Sponsored by The Book Club of Washington \nOnline Sunday\, October 22\, 2 PM PDT \nWhat bibliophile could resist an introduction to the early history and development of the private library of J. Pierpont Morgan? John McQuillen elaborates on the rich scope of his talk: “Morgan had an exemplary eye for collecting significant Western literary works—Gutenberg and Aldus\, Shakespeare and Dickens—but it was his librarian\, Belle Greene\, who helped to focus Morgan’s broad collecting practices towards the creation of a truly exemplary library. Miss Greene steered the library through the Great Depression and both World Wars and continued to build on Morgan’s vision of an outstanding repository of the history of the written word.” \nJohn McQuillen is the Associate Curator of Printed Books & Bindings at the Morgan Library & Museum. In 2012\, he earned a PhD in Art History and the Book History and Print Culture Collaborative Program from the University of Toronto. John specializes in incunabula and Early Modern book history and has published on 15th-century provenance studies\, medieval/Early Modern library history\, incunable herbals\, and early book portraits in the paintings of Hans Holbein. For the Morgan\, John has curated exhibitions on William Caxton\, Martin Luther\, J.R.R. Tolkien\, 18th-century French royal bookbindings\, Hans Holbein\, and early printed herbals (on view from 6 October). \nRegister here: https://www.bookclubofwashington.org/events-1/gutenberg-morgan-and-greene-building-the-bookmans-paradise?utm_campaign=36f43a7c-1f2d-4142-a42b-f8ee9586786f&utm_source=so&utm_medium=mail&cid=1291030c-f5cd-4f28-ac2a-0f1daf7824dd

SUMMARY:We are the Land: A History of Native California
DESCRIPTION:Sponsored by The Book Club of California and Litquake \n6:00 PM – 7:15 PM Pacific\nVirtual presentation \nBefore there was such a thing as “California\,” there were the People and the Land. Manifest Destiny\, the Gold Rush\, and settler colonial society drew maps\, displaced Indigenous People\, and reshaped the land\, but they did not make California. Rather\, the lives and legacies of the people native to the land shaped the creation of California. We Are the Land is the first and most comprehensive text of its kind\, centering the long history of California around the lives and legacies of the Indigenous people who shaped it. \nBeginning with the ethnogenesis of California Indians\, We Are the Land recounts the centrality of the Native presence from before European colonization through statehood—paying particularly close attention to the persistence and activism of California Indians in the late twentieth and early twenty-first centuries. \nThe book deftly contextualizes the first encounters with Europeans\, Spanish missions\, Mexican secularization\, the devastation of the Gold Rush and statehood\, genocide\, efforts to reclaim land\, and the organization and activism for sovereignty that built today’s casino economy. A text designed to fill the glaring need for an accessible overview of California Indian history\, We Are the Land will be a core resource in a variety of classroom settings\, as well as for casual readers and policymakers interested in a history that centers the native experience. \nAn in-person and virtual presentation by William Bauer\, enrolled citizen of the Round Valley Indian Tribes\, author\, and Professor of History at the University of Nevada\, Las Vegas \n* Co-presented and co-hosted by Litquake \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nRegister to attend the virtual presentation on Zoom\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

SUMMARY:Handpress Era/Early Printing FABS Group: Margaret Cavendish and Incunabular Herbals
DESCRIPTION:Sponsored by FABS \nInterested in the early age of print? Join us on Zoom! Members of this group show and discuss examples of “printed books and other printed works created before ca. 1800.” \nFor the meeting of October 9: \n\nElizabeth Canning: “The Worst Fate Bookes Have”: How Margaret Cavendish Shaped Her Literary Legacy. Join us to explore the publishing practices of groundbreaking author Margaret Cavendish across four of her works\, including the rare 1668 stand-alone edition of The Blazing World\, along with her first book\, Poems and Fancies\, from 1653.\nJohn McQuillen\, Associate Curator at the Morgan Library and Museum: Printing Plants: Illustrated Herbal Incunabula. The first European printed herbals had bold graphics and clear layouts. The illustrations were copied repeatedly as printers issued competing editions trying to claim their share of this new commercial market. What can we learn about how early books were marketed just from their layout?\n\n\nTo receive a Zoom link\, contact Jennifer Larson at info@fabsocieties.org\nWe meet the second Monday of the month from 7:30-8:30pm Eastern Time. \nTo join the mailing list and receive invitations for this Zoom group\, write to info@fabsocieties.org. \n
