Author Talk with Adrienne Brodeur

Join us as critically acclaimed author Adrienne Brodeur visits Kingston to discuss, “Little Monsters,” released this past July. Reference Librarian Steven Miller will moderate a conversation with Brodeur about her novel. For more information about "Little Monsters," click here.

Brodeur’s novel is a riveting book about Cape Cod, complicated families, long-buried secrets set in the summer of 2016. The book has been highlighted in the New York Times Book Review, NPR, and the Washington Post. During this past August, “Little Monsters,” was the Boston Globe Book Club pick of the month.

In 2019, Brodeur’s memoir “Wild Game: My Mother, Her Lover, and Me,” was a national bestseller as it was named a Best Book of the Year by over 20 different websites or publications including Amazon, Entertainment Weekly, People, Town and Country, and BookPage

Brodeur has spent the last two decades in the literary world with her career beginning with the founding of the fiction magazine, Zoetrope: All-Story, with filmmaker Francis Ford Coppola as she was its editor-in-chief from 1996-2002. In 2005, she became a literary fiction and memoir editor at Harcourt (later, HMH Books).

She left publishing in 2013 to become Creative Director – and later Executive Director – of Aspen Words, a literary arts nonprofit and program of the Aspen Institute. You can learn more about Brodeur at https://adriennebrodeur.com.

Books will be on sale for purchase following the event.

The Gravestone Girls - “Welcome to The Graveyard”

“Welcome to the Graveyard!” is a 90 minute illustrated ‘virtual tour’ chronicling cemetery art, history and symbolism.  From colonial New England burial grounds of the 16 & 1700s, through the nation-wide rural cemetery movement of the 19th century and into 21st century locations, the program examines why we have cemeteries and gravestones, why they look like they do and how styles and art have evolved over almost 400 years.  The presentation is robust with photographs of original gravestones and burial grounds from cemeteries visited by Gravestone Girls over many years. Some information on notable historic Kingston gravestone cutters, such as Bartlett Adams will be included in the presentation as well. This event is funded by a Kingston Cultural Council grant awarded to the Library for programming related to historic Kingston cemeteries and gravestones. 

There will also be a few exhibit cases up at the Adams Center filled with materials related to Kingston cemeteries and gravestones as a teaser for the larger KPL Local History Collections exhibit, Historic Cemeteries and Gravestones of Kingston which will be up Wednesday, October 18th through Tuesday, October 31st.
