Miwako Ogasawara will lead a discussion of The Last September by Elizabeth Bowen. The novel is a social satire of the dying Anglo-Irish Protestant Ascendency set around 1920, the period of violent uprisings of the ultimately successful Irish War of Independence against the ruling class which had dominated Ireland for about 300 years. It is also the story of a young woman coming of age against the ominous backdrop of brutal political violence by both the Irish Republican Army and the British security forces. In a discussion thread focusing on the 'luxurious beauty of the sentences and the flashes of unsuspecting dry humor,' Rohan Maitzen called it a 'combination of highly aestheticized language and social comedy, as if you are being batted around by [Virginia] Woolf on one side and [Jane] Austen on the other!'

In 2009, Tiger Woods was the most famous athlete on the planet, a transcendent star of almost unfathomable fame and fortune living what appeared to be the perfect life—married to a Swedish beauty and the father of two young children. Winner of fourteen major golf championships and seventy-nine PGA Tour events, Woods was the first billion-dollar athlete, earning more than $100 million a year in endorsements. But it was all a carefully crafted illusion. As it turned out, Woods had been living a double life for years—one that exploded in the aftermath of a Thanksgiving night crash that exposed his serial infidelity and sent his personal and professional life off a cliff. 

 In Tiger Woods, Jeff Benedict and Armen Keteyian, the team behind the recent bestseller The System, dig deep behind the headlines to produce a richly reported answer to the question that has mystified millions of sports fans for nearly a decade: who is Tiger Woods?   

Benedict is also the author of Little Pink House, which has been made into a movie starring Oscar-nominated Catherine Keener and Jeanne Tripplehorn.  The film is in theaters in April and Benedict will be signing copies of both Tiger Woods and Little Pink House following his talk. Jeff Benedict is a bestselling author, a special features writer for Sports Illustrated, and a television and film producer. In addition to publishing fifteen non-fiction books, he has written for The New York Times and Los Angeles Times, and his stories have been the basis for segments on numerous TV networks. He is the founder and director of the Institute for Writing and Mass Media at Southern Virginia University.  Jeff has previously spoken at Wilton Library.

Dutch historian Johan Huizinga is generally considered to be one of the greatest historians of the 20th century. In the 1930s, he became famous as a cultural critic and fierce opponent of Nazi ideology; he was seen as a leading ‘public intellectual.’ During that same time period, Huizinga was a mentor to the Dutch Crown Princess, who later became Queen Juliana. He was taken hostage during WWII and spent several months in what was called ‘Hitler's Gentlemen's Prison.’ Huizinga died just before the end of WWII in 1945 when Laura was 3 years old. In her talk - with many photographs - Laura will include Huizinga's visit to the USA in the 1920's.  She will also sketch day-to-day existence during the war years, when her family was hiding refugees. After a 20-year career in a scholarly publishing company, Laura Conley is now a gallery guide in the Metropolitan Museum. She holds a Dutch law degree and an MBA. No charge. Registration recommended.

After the presentation, attendees will be able to view an exhibit of several rare volumes of the 1750 edition of The Tatler which is being lent to the library by a generous patron.

Michael Bellacosa will lead a discussion of Reckless Endangerment by Pulitzer Prize-winning New York Times business reporter Gretchen Morgenson and housing finance expert Joshua Rosner which provides one of the best explanations of the causes of the 2008 financial crisis. With facts and data from previously untapped sources as well as Rosner’s original research, this accessible analysis takes the reader behind the curtain at mortgage-finance behemoth Fannie Mae as well as the Federal Reserve, HUD, Congress, two presidents, and some of the biggest players on Wall Street. Reviewing the book, Stanford economics professor John Taylor wrote: 'In a series of clearly written narratives with many names, dates and figures, [the authors] show that government officials took actions that benefited well-connected individuals, who in turn helped the government officials. This mutual support system thwarted good economic policies and encouraged reckless ones. It thereby brought on the crisis, sending the economy into a tailspin.'

Before that tragic day on November 22, 1963, the Kennedy years were filled with hope and promise. As the White House gardener put it, they were also filled with children and dogs. The Dogs of Camelot illuminates the inside story of the Kennedys’ lifelong love of dogs and the unparalleled canine corps they brought to the White House. Reed and Lownds had access to rare and previously unpublished photos and stories that present a fascinating angle about the Kennedys that is deeply revealing about their character and compassion. Dr. Margaret Reed, a nationally acclaimed animal training professional, met President Kennedy and his dogs when she was a little girl on vacation in Hyannis Port. Joan Lownds was long-time reporter for The Wilton Bulletin and the author of Man Overboard: Inside the Honeymoon Cruise Murder. See library’s registration link for more details. Q&A will follow the talk.  No charge.  Registration highly recommended. Books available for purchase and signing.  Media Sponsor: Good Morning Wilton. Register online or call 203-762-6334.
