THE ANOMALY


Join us at our World Lit Book Club at Main for our monthly discussion on a book selection from an international author! 

Please call Main at 516-466-8055 ext. 218 or email dwang@greatnecklibrary.org for help requesting a physical copy of the book.  Please call before March 15th in order to receive a physical copy.

No registration is required.

Copies of the title may also be available on EBook and EAudiobook via Libby-Overdrive.

April Selection: The Anomaly by Herve Le Tellier

“The Anomaly,” a runaway best seller in France, where it won the Prix Goncourt, lies in that exciting Venn diagram where high entertainment meets serious literature. Its plot might have been borrowed from “The Twilight Zone” or “Black Mirror,” but it movingly explores urgent questions about reality, fate and free will. If our lives might not be our own and we end up dying either way, how should we live? [NYT]

Questions of philosophy, mathematics, and astrophysics bend this novel far from the typical mold, and Le Tellier’s characters must confront the deepest questions of existence. This thought-provoking literary work deserves a wide readership. [PW]

May Selection: Kinder Than Solitude by Yiyun Li

...The lingering taste of “Kinder Than Solitude” is a pervasive bitterness over the crushed and wasted dreams of the teenagers of 1989. The unsolved crime that haunts this novel is the bodies driven from [Tiananmen] Square on a flatbed tricycle, whose dark ghosts cast shadows everywhere you look, even in the gleaming China of today [NYT]

Brilliantly written, a breathtaking page-turner, Kinder Than Solitude resonates with provocative observations about human nature and life. In mesmerizing prose, and with profound insight, Yiyun Li unfolds this remarkable story, even as she explores the impact of personality and the past on the shape of a person’s present and future. [Goodreads]

Art and Revolution in the Soviet Union presented by Dennis Raverty

No registration required. First come first seated.

Dictators of both the left and the right persecuted modern art in the early 20th century. Join us in this 3-part series, Art Under the Dictators and Under the Democrat, as we explore the reasons for both its unpopularity with the demagogues and its eventual triumph in America during the postwar period. Be sure to also join us for The Fate of Art in Nazi Germany and Art Under Roosevelt During the Great Depression.

Art and Revolution in the Soviet Union
Lenin saw the revolutionary potential of avant-garde art, architecture and design and instituted sweeping changes in which modernism became almost the official art of the fledgling Soviet Union, but with Stalin's rise to power, all art was banished that could not be used as propaganda by the Communist Party for furthering its social and economic objectives. Most of Russia's finest artists and designers emigrated to the West.

Presenter Dennis Raverty is a speaker, author and art historian who for decades has delighted audiences with lively presentations at libraries, churches, synagogues, hostels and business lunches on a variety of topics in the history of art, from the Italian Renaissance to the Harlem Renaissance. His articles and criticism has appeared in Art Journal, Art in America, The International Review of African American Art, Art Criticism, The New Art Examiner, Prospects: An Annual of American Studies, Source: Notes in the History of Art. and Art Papers, where he was a contributing editor. He authored four entries for the most recent edition of the Grove Encyclopedia of American Art, published by Oxford University Press (2011).

Cycle of Memory: Documentary Screening with Director Q&A

Join the Great Neck Library for a special intergenerational screening of Cycle of Memory: the new award-winning documentary about two siblings' bicycle adventure to find the memories their grandfather lost to Alzheimer's. 

The film is 72 minutes long and will be followed by a Q+A with the filmmaker. 
No registration is required. First come first seated

About the film: Mel Schwartz escaped the Great Depression on a bicycle adventure he’d remember for the rest of his life. But when Alzheimer’s takes Mel’s memories away, it’s left to his grandkids to recreate the life-changing bike trip and find those memories again. 

Guided by old photographs of the 1945 trip, they search for places aged by time. But while searching for Grandpa Mel’s past, the two are confronted with their own fraught history. If they’re going to complete the turbulent journey, they’ll have to face their own emotional potholes and tumultuous relationship.

With the help of a grandmother learning to live alone for the first time, Mel’s lifelong friend and co-adventurer on the bike trip, and a family collection spanning 1950s film reels to 1990s video tapes, Cycle of Memory explores the importance of intergenerational connection, healing painful pasts, and leaving a meaningful time capsule for the future.

“Powerful, inspiring, and moving.” - Eilon Caspi BSW MA PhD, Gerontologist & Dementia Behavior Specialist 

“Cycle of Memory is beautiful, thoughtful, real, poignant and fitting for all ages and audiences. The care, authenticity, and courage that it takes to love and stay connected to family was very inspirational.” - Lisa Peterson, Nationally Board Certified Music Therapist working with seniors with memory loss and their caregivers

“Cycle of Memory is very moving, with a real sense of family and place; there is much for reflection or discussion, suitable for an audience that wants to stick around after a viewing.” - Mark Poarch, CEO Alzheimer’s BRACE

The Fate of Art in Nazi Germany presented by Dennis Raverty

No registration required. First come first seated.

Dictators of both the left and the right persecuted modern art in the early 20th century. Join us in part 2 of this 3-part series, Art Under the Dictators and Under the Democrat, as we explore the reasons for both its unpopularity with the demagogues and its eventual triumph in America during the postwar period. Be sure to also join us for Art Under Roosevelt During the Great Depression.

The Fate of Art in Nazi Germany
An international faculty of distinguished modernists taught at the Bauhaus School of Art and Design in liberal Germany during the 1920s, but Hitler organized modern art seized from museums into his "Degenerate Art Exhibit" of 1936, which ridiculed modernism as an unhygienic symptom of miscegenation that needs to be outlawed. As a result, most of central Europe's best artists, designers and architects moved to the United States.

Presenter Dennis Raverty is a speaker, author and art historian who for decades has delighted audiences with lively presentations at libraries, churches, synagogues, hostels and business lunches on a variety of topics in the history of art, from the Italian Renaissance to the Harlem Renaissance. His articles and criticism has appeared in Art Journal, Art in America, The International Review of African American Art, Art Criticism, The New Art Examiner, Prospects: An Annual of American Studies, Source: Notes in the History of Art. and Art Papers, where he was a contributing editor. He authored four entries for the most recent edition of the Grove Encyclopedia of American Art, published by Oxford University Press (2011).

Dozens of Carner’s award-winning essays, articles and short stories have appeared in anthologies, literary reviews and leading websites. She is a committed supporter of global human rights, has spearheaded projects centered on the subjects of female plight. A Toastmasters’ Gold Level speaker, she has participated as a panelist or keynoted over 500 events and over 350 Zoom presentations to civic, religious and cultural organizations.
