SUMMARY:Anderson's Bookshop - Chronically Curious Book Club
DESCRIPTION:Join us in Downers Grove for our first Chronically Curious Book Club! \nChronically Curious is a Non-Fiction Book Club. Our first meeting will be held on Sunday\, June 14th at 3:00 pm\, and we will be discussing When the Clock Broke: Con Men\, Conspiracists\, and How America Cracked Up in the Early 1990s. This will be a free event\, but we highly encourage the purchase of the monthly book from our store. Please note that the author will not be present at this event. \nMore about When the Clock Broke:  \nA TOP TEN BOOK OF THE YEAR – THE WASHINGTON POST • THE NEW REPUBLIC • AIR MAIL • SLATE \nPUBLISHERS WEEKLY – A BEST BOOK OF THE YEAR \nOBAMA’S SUMMER READING • THE BOSTON GLOBE • MOTHER JONES • CHICAGO TRIBUNE • LITERARY HUB \n“[A] wry and engaging account . . . When the Clock Broke is leagues more insightful on the subject of Trump’s ascent than most writing that purports to address the issue directly.”\n—Becca Rothfeld\, The Washington Post \nA revelatory look back at the convulsions at the end of the Reagan era—and their dark legacy today. \nA high official in the Department of Defense is accused of running a drug trafficking operation\, and the rumors reverberate. Mayoral candidate Rudy Giuliani incites a riot among police officers in Lower Manhattan. The ex-Klansman and neo-Nazi David Duke runs for governor of Louisiana and wins the white vote. “If the ideals that I stand for are addressed\, then I will only be a footnote in history\,” he prophesies. “But if the deterioration of the white middle class continues\, then I will be president.” \nThe early 1990s promised Americans confidence and primacy. It didn’t turn out that way. As the economy contracted and anxieties about crime\, immigration\, and foreign competition rose\, the national mood darkened. An influential group of conservative thinkers rejected “globalism” and called for a “populist-based presidency” that would save the American way of life. They sought to “break the clock” and “repeal the twentieth century.” \nIn When the Clock Broke\, John Ganz dissects a country in extremis. As the Cold War consensus ended\, Americans exhumed old demons and created some new ones. A culture war was declared on liberal elites\, free trade was equated with the “giant sucking sound” of jobs lost to Mexico\, and rowdy talk radio hosts forged bonds with audiences undergoing an “epidemic of loneliness.” Increasingly\, the Republican Party was the haven of the alienated and angry. When Bill Clinton won the presidency\, it seemed the center had held—temporarily. \nRanging from Ruby Ridge to the Chinese restaurant in Virginia where “paleoconservatives” devised a new politics for “Middle American Radicals\,” Ganz offers a rollicking exposé of the end of the post–World War II order—and the advent of a new\, more berserk America. \n“John Ganz is the most important young political writer of his generation—just the one our dark moment needs.”\n—Rick Perlstein\, author of Nixonland and Reaganland \nAbout the Author:\nJohn Ganz writes the widely acclaimed Unpopular Front newsletter for Substack. His work has appeared in The Washington Post\, Artforum\, the New Statesman\, and other publications.

SUMMARY:Tivoli Theatre - After Hours Film Society Presents Surfilmusic
DESCRIPTION:SURFILMUSIC\nReviewed by Bill Bodkin | The Pop Break\n‘Jack Johnson: SURFILMUSIC’ is as Fascinating & Laid Back as The Singer Himself\n\nThe modern proverb\, “It’s not about the destination\, it’s about the journey\,” perfectly captures the life and times of the modern-day renaissance man Jack Johnson.The surfer\, filmmaker\, musician\, philanthropist\, husband\, and father’s journey from the pipelines of Hawaii to the hearts and souls of millions of fans is documented to perfection in Jack Johnson: SURFILMUSIC.The film\, directed by Emmett Malloy – a longtime collaborator of Johnson’s—is an amalgam of old footage\, 4-track cassette and mini-disc sound\, interviews with Johnson’s inner circle (Malloy\, Kelly Slater\, Rob Machado\, Kim Johnson)\, and moments alone with the man himself as he reflects on a life less ordinary. \nThe film\, as the title indicates\, is broken into three distinctive parts: surf\, film\, and music. Malloy’s gorgeously shot film examines how each of these aspects of Johnson’s life begets the other and still influences everything Johnson does. We watch how his days as a young surfer in Hawaii directly influenced his foray into filmmaking\, and how his downtime during filming was the launchpad for his music. \nThe journey is fascinating because you see the hard work Johnson put into his ascent to superstardom. Still\, SURFILMUSIC crafts his story as one of natural progression\, and it’s echoed by Johnson’s friends. To them\, it was obvious that Johnson would excel and succeed because his talent and creativity were so evident. However\, when the film cuts to Johnson\, his laidback humility almost deflects his own talent and puts the spotlight on the communities around him because\, in his eyes\, they led him to his current status. And this makes you admire Johnson even more. He’s infinitely talented\, and instead of bathing in the adulation of the documentary\, he turns the films into a celebration of those involved in his success. \nThis is evidenced by the dedication of the film’s act to the passing of one of Johnson’s closest friends\, Tamayo Perry. This celebration of Johnson’s life is refocused into a final farewell\, a cinematic eulogy of sorts to a man whom Johnson credits so much and obviously cared about deeply. That’s the type of thing that speaks to a man’s character and makes you just marvel at this man even further. \nJack Johnson: SURFILMUSIC is an absolute must-watch for fans who love gorgeously shot surf films\, fascinating films on how films get made\, and uniquely crafted music documentaries. Like Johnson himself\, this film is a multi-faceted marvel that speaks to not only a man’s craft but also his soul.

SUMMARY:Anderson's Bookshop - Banned Book Club
DESCRIPTION:Join us in Downers Grove for our monthly Banned Book Club! Our next meeting will be held on Thursday\, June 18th at 6:00 pm\, and we will be discussing Sold. This will be a free event\, but we highly encourage the purchase of the monthly book from our store. Please note that the author will not be present at this event. \nMore about Sold:   \nA NATIONAL BOOK AWARD FINALIST \nThis poignant\, bestselling verse novel gives voice to a young girl robbed of her childhood yet determined to find the strength to triumph. \nLakshmi is a thirteen-year-old girl who lives with her family in a small hut on a mountain in Nepal. Though desperately poor\, her life is full of simple pleasures\, like playing hopscotch with her best friend from school\, and having her mother brush her hair by the light of an oil lamp. But when the harsh Himalayan monsoons wash away all that remains of the family’s crops\, Lakshmi’s stepfather says she must leave home and take a job to support her family. \nHe introduces her to a glamorous stranger who tells her she will find her a job as a maid in the city. Glad to be able to help\, Lakshmi journeys to India and arrives at “Happiness House” full of hope. But she soon learns the unthinkable truth: she has been sold into prostitution. \nAn old woman named Mumtaz rules the brothel with cruelty and cunning. She tells Lakshmi that she is trapped there until she can pay off her family’s debt-then cheats Lakshmi of her meager earnings so that she can never leave. \nLakshmi’s life becomes a nightmare from which she cannot escape. Still\, she lives by her mother’s words—Simply to endure is to triumph—and gradually\, she forms friendships with the other girls that enable her to survive in this terrifying new world. Then the day comes when she must make a decision-will she risk everything for a chance to reclaim her life? \nWritten in spare and evocative vignettes by the co-author of I Am Malala (Young Readers Edition)\, this powerful novel renders a world that is as unimaginable as it is real\, and a girl who not only survives but triumphs. \n“Hard-hitting … The author beautifully balances the harshness of brothel life with the poignant relationships among its residents.” —Publishers Weekly (starred review) \n“An unforgettable account of sexual slavery as it exists now.” —Booklist (starred review) \nPublishers Weekly Best 100 Books of the Year\nNPR’s Best Books of the Year\nAmerican Library Association Top Ten List\, Best Books of the Year\nGustav-Heinemann Peace Prize\nBooklist Editor’s Choice Award\nNew York Public Library Best Books for Teens\nChildren’s Literature Council’s Choice\nBook Sense Pick \nAbout the Author:\nTo research Sold\, Patricia McCormick traveled to India and Nepal\, where she interviewed the women of Calcutta’s red-light district and girls who have been rescued from the sex trade. Patricia is a two-time National Book Award finalist\, and the author of five critically acclaimed novels\, among them Never Fall Down\, the story of a boy who survived the Killing Fields of Cambodia by playing music for the Khmer Rouge. Her other books include the YA classic Cut\, and the young readers’ edition of I Am Malala\, the story of the Pakistani girl who was targeted by the Taliban for standing up for education. She lives in Manhattan.
