 The Library Box Office Presents: Choking Man
The Friends of the Jacob Edwards Library present Choking Man which will begin at 6:00 p.m. in the Pioppi Room, lower level. Candy will be available for purchase.
Synopsis:
"The social anxiety of a morbidly shy Ecuadorian dishwasher working in a Queens diner provides the psychological engine that powers this intense blend of drama and magical realism from famed music video director Steve Barron. Newcomer Octavio Gomez Berrios gives a quietly effective performance in the 'title' role. Also starring Mandy Patinkin. "
Each month the Friends of the Jacob Edwards Library present and independent or foreign movie as part of the Library Box Office Series. All movies are available in DVD format for borrowing after the screening. The Pioppi Room is equipped with surround-sound and a large screen projector to enhance your viewing experience. |

Author Larry Lowenthal
Larry Lowenthal will discuss his book Hell on the East River: British Prison Ships in the American Revolution on Thursday, October 22nd at 6:30 p.m. in the Reading Room.
From the Preface:
"The sacrifice of the prison ship martyrs is not the kind of flashing heroism or dramatic gesture that seizes the popular imagination. It is quieter, more prolonged, more agonizing, and thus more difficult to comprehend. This book is, in essence, an attempt to correct an historical oversight and give the "vast and silent army" the recognition it deserves. In this effort, I have tried to let the martyrs speak for themselves as much as possible, so that their voices and way of thinking will be preserved." |
