SUMMARY:Horn From The Heart The Paul Butterfield Story
DESCRIPTION:Horn From The Heart The Paul Butterfield Story\n\nTo Purchase Tickets Click HERE \n“Paul was an incredible creative spirit and always kept stretching. As deep as he would go into the roots\, he was always pushing the envelope of what blues can be.” – Bonnie Raitt \nPaul learned the blues from the original black masters performing nightly in his own back yard. Muddy Waters was Paul’s mentor and lifelong friend\, happy to share his wisdom and expertise with such a gifted young acolyte. \nThe interracial Paul Butterfield Blues Band\, featuring the twin guitar sound of Michael Bloomfield and Elvin Bishop\, the rhythm section of Sam Lay and Jerome Arnold and the keyboards of Mark Naftalin\, added a rock edge to the Chicago blues\, bringing an authenticity to its sound that struck a chord with the vast white rock audience and rejuvenated worldwide interest in the blues. The band’s first LP\, released in 1965\, was named “#11 Blues Album of All Time” by Downbeat. \nThrough his music and words\, along with first‐hand accounts of his family\, his band mates and those closest to him\, Horn From The Heart: The Paul Butterfield Story tells the complex story of a man many call the greatest blues harmonica player of all time. \nThe Paul Butterfield Blues Band was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2015. Paul Butterfield is one of a handful of musicians inducted into both the Rock and Roll and Blues Halls of Fame\, alongside other legendary artists including B.B. King\, Chuck Berry\, Billie Holiday and Eric Clapton.

SUMMARY:Tessa Hadley returns to Mrs. Dalloway's to read from her new novel\, Late in the Day.
DESCRIPTION:“Perceptive\, finely wrought….Hadley is a writer of the first order\, and this novel gives her the opportunity to explore\, with profound incisiveness and depth\, the inevitable changes inherent to long-lasting marriages.”– Publishers Weekly \nTo reserve your seat\, purchase a copy of Late in the Day by speaking to a bookseller or ordering from our website. \n\n\n\n\n\nThe lives of two close-knit couples are irrevocably changed by an untimely death in this latest from Hadley. Alexandr and Christine and Zachary and Lydia have been friends since they first met in their twenties. Thirty years later\, Alex and Christine are spending a leisurely summer’s evening at home when they receive a call from a distraught Lydia: she is at the hospital. Zach is dead.\n\n\n\n\n\nIn the wake of this profound loss\, the three friends find themselves unmoored; all agree that Zach\, with his generous\, grounded spirit\, was the irreplaceable one they couldn’t afford to lose. Inconsolable\, Lydia moves in with Alex and Christine. But instead of loss bringing them closer\, the three of them find over the following months that it warps their relationships\, as old entanglements and grievances rise from the past\, and love and sorrow give way to anger and bitterness. \nLate in the Day explores the complex webs at the center of our most intimate relationships\, to expose how\, beneath the seemingly dependable arrangements we make for our lives\, lie infinite alternate configurations. Ingeniously moving between past and present and through the intricacies of her characters’ thoughts and interactions\, Tessa Hadley once again “crystallizes the atmosphere of ordinary life in prose somehow miraculous and natural.” (Washington Post) \nTessa Hadley is the author of five highly praised novels: Accidents in the Home\, Everything Will Be All Right; The Master Bedroom; The London Train\, and Clever Girl\, and two short story collections\, Sunstroke and Married Love. Her stories appear regularly in The New Yorker. She lives in London.

SUMMARY:EXHIBITION On Screen 2018/19 Season: Young Picasso
DESCRIPTION:EXHIBITION On Screen 2018/19 Season: Young Picasso\n\nWed\, Feb 13 1 & 7pm & Wed\, Mar 20 4pm \nTo Purchase Tickets Click HERE \nPablo Picasso is one of the greatest artists of all time – and right up until his death in 1973 he was the most prolific of artists. Many films have dealt with these later years – the art\, the affairs and the wide circle of friends. But where did this all begin? What made Picasso in the first place? Too long ignored\, it is time to look at the early years of Picasso; the upbringing and the learning that led to his extraordinary achievements. \nThree cities play a key role: Malaga\, Barcelona and Paris. Young Picasso visits each and explores their influence on Picasso\, focusing on specific artworks from these early years. The film thus explains how this young artist acquired his craft. Looking carefully at two key early periods – the so-called Blue Period and Rose Period – the film takes us all the way to 1907 and the creation of a critical painting in the history of art – Les Demoiselles d’Avignon. It was a painting that shocked the art world but changed it irrevocably. Picasso was only 25 years old. Working closely with all three Picasso Museums in Malaga\, Barcelona and Paris this film explains how he rose to great heights.

SUMMARY:Horn From The Heart The Paul Butterfield Story
DESCRIPTION:Horn From The Heart The Paul Butterfield Story\n\nADDED SHOW! Sat\, Feb 16 1pm \nTo Purchase Tickets Click HERE \n“Paul was an incredible creative spirit and always kept stretching. As deep as he would go into the roots\, he was always pushing the envelope of what blues can be.” – Bonnie Raitt \nPaul learned the blues from the original black masters performing nightly in his own back yard. Muddy Waters was Paul’s mentor and lifelong friend\, happy to share his wisdom and expertise with such a gifted young acolyte. \nThe interracial Paul Butterfield Blues Band\, featuring the twin guitar sound of Michael Bloomfield and Elvin Bishop\, the rhythm section of Sam Lay and Jerome Arnold and the keyboards of Mark Naftalin\, added a rock edge to the Chicago blues\, bringing an authenticity to its sound that struck a chord with the vast white rock audience and rejuvenated worldwide interest in the blues. The band’s first LP\, released in 1965\, was named “#11 Blues Album of All Time” by Downbeat. \nThrough his music and words\, along with first‐hand accounts of his family\, his band mates and those closest to him\, Horn From The Heart: The Paul Butterfield Story tells the complex story of a man many call the greatest blues harmonica player of all time. \nThe Paul Butterfield Blues Band was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2015. Paul Butterfield is one of a handful of musicians inducted into both the Rock and Roll and Blues Halls of Fame\, alongside other legendary artists including B.B. King\, Chuck Berry\, Billie Holiday and Eric Clapton.

SUMMARY:Great Art On Screen: Van Gogh - Between the Wheat and the Sky
DESCRIPTION:Great Art On Screen: Van Gogh – Between the Wheat and the Sky\n\nTue\, Feb 19 1 & 7pm \nTo Purchase Tickets Click HERE \nA new look at Van Gogh\, through the legacy of the largest private collector of artworks by the Dutch painter: Helene Kroller-Muller (1869-1939)\, who\, in the early 20th Century\, ended up buying nearly 300 of his works\, paintings and drawings included. \nThe story unfolds of a woman who\, in Van Gogh’s spiritual torment could recognize her own\, showing priceless artistic treasures and the rare\, naturalistic and architectural beauty of the Kroller-Muller Museum set in the vast De Hoge Weluge park\, as well as visual extracts of the Milanese\, Florentine\, Roman and Palladian Renaissance. It tells the tormented\, existential parable of a painter\, seen through passages from his brother Theo’s letters\, which set the pace of the exhibition\, and it shows images of the places he lived and stayed in\, from Paris to Provence. \nThe opportunity to tell the story of this collection and of the burning passion for art that led to it\, is an outstanding exhibition on Van Gogh. ‘Amid wheat fields and clouded skies’ at the Basilica Palladiana in Vicenza\, brings together 40 paintings and 85 drawings from the Kroller-Muller Museum in Otterlo\, Holland\, now home to Helene’s heritage. \nThis is an exhibition that will not only tell us about Van Gogh’s art and his genius\, but it will also allow us to understand the importance of drawing as part of his artistic technique. His seemingly instinctive\, ‘au premier coup’ canvases were the result of long\, preparatory studies\, not sketches but complete works of art in themselves\, where the broken flow of lines that characterizes the style of his paintings\, can already be found.

SUMMARY:Dani Shapiro returns to Mrs. Dalloway's to present Inheritance: A Memoir of Genealogy\, Paternity\, and Love.
DESCRIPTION:“Identity is frail business\, and in her searing story\, Dani Shapiro makes the most disquieting discovery: that everything\, from her lineage\, to her father\, down to her very own sense of self is an astounding error. How do we live with ourselves after finding we are not who we thought we were? The answer is not disquieting. It is beautiful.”–Andre Aciman\, author of Call Me by Your Name \nTo reserve your seat\, purchase a copy of Inheritance by speaking with a bookseller or ordering from our website. \n\n\n\n\n\n\nWhat makes us who we are? What combination of memory\, history\, biology\, experience\, and that ineffable thing called the soul defines us?\nIn the spring of 2016\, through a genealogy website to which she had whimsically submitted her DNA for analysis\, Shapiro received the stunning news that her father was not her biological father. She woke up one morning and her entire history–the life she had lived–crumbled beneath her. \nInheritance is a book about secrets–secrets within families\, kept out of shame or self-protectiveness; secrets we keep from one another in the name of love. It is the story of a woman’s urgent quest to unlock the story of her own identity\, a story that had been scrupulously hidden from her for more than fifty years\, years she had spent writing brilliantly\, and compulsively\, on themes of identity and family history. It is a book about the extraordinary moment we live in–a moment in which science and technology have outpaced not only medical ethics but also the capacities of the human heart to contend with the consequences of what we discover. \nTimely and unforgettable\, Dani Shapiro’s memoir is a gripping\, gut-wrenching exploration of genealogy\, paternity\, and love. \nDani Shapiro is the author of the memoirs Hourglass\, Still Writing\, Devotion\, and Slow Motion and five novels including Black & White and Family History. Also an essayist and a journalist\, Shapiro’s short fiction\, essays\, and journalistic pieces have appeared in The New Yorker\, Granta\, Tin House\, One Story\, Elle\, Vogue\, O\, The Oprah Magazine\, The New York Times Book Review\, the op-ed pages of the New York Times\, and many other publications. She has taught in the writing programs at Columbia\, NYU\, the New School\, and Wesleyan University; she is cofounder of the Sirenland Writers Conference in Positano\, Italy. She lives with her family in Litchfield County\, Connecticut. \n  \n

SUMMARY:Elinor Lipman returns to celebrate the publication of Good Riddance
DESCRIPTION:Elinor Lipman returns to Mrs. Dalloway’s to celebrate the publication of her latest novel\, Good Riddance\, in which one woman’s trash becomes another woman’s treasure\, with deliriously entertaining results. A pitch-perfect\, whip-smart new novel from an “enchanting\, infinitely witty yet serious\, exceptionally intelligent\, wholly original\, and Austen-like stylist” (Washington Post).\n\n\n\n\nIn this delightful new romantic comedy\, Daphne Maritch doesn’t quite know what to make of the heavily annotated high school yearbook she inherits from her mother\, who held this relic dear. Too dear.The late June Winter Maritch was the teacher to whom the class of ’69 had dedicated its yearbook\, and in turn she went on to attend every reunion\, scribbling notes and observations after each one–not always charitably–and noting who overstepped boundaries of many kinds. In a fit of decluttering (the yearbook did not\, Daphne concluded\, “spark joy”)\, she discards it when she moves to a small New York City apartment. But when it’s found in the recycling bin by a busybody neighbor/documentary filmmaker\, the yearbook’s mysteries–not to mention her own family’s–take on a whole new urgency\, and Daphne finds herself entangled in a series of events both poignant and absurd. \nElinor Lipman is the award-winning author of eleven novels\, including The View from Penthouse B and The Inn at Lake Devine; one essay collection\, I Can’t Complain; and Tweet Land of Liberty: Irreverent Rhymes from the Political Circus. She lives in New York City.

SUMMARY:EXHIBITION On Screen 2018/19 Season: Young Picasso
DESCRIPTION:To Purchase Tickets Click HERE\n\nPablo Picasso is one of the greatest artists of all time – and right up until his death in 1973 he was the most prolific of artists. Many films have dealt with these later years – the art\, the affairs and the wide circle of friends. But where did this all begin? What made Picasso in the first place? Too long ignored\, it is time to look at the early years of Picasso; the upbringing and the learning that led to his extraordinary achievements. \nThree cities play a key role: Malaga\, Barcelona and Paris. Young Picasso visits each and explores their influence on Picasso\, focusing on specific artworks from these early years. The film thus explains how this young artist acquired his craft. Looking carefully at two key early periods – the so-called Blue Period and Rose Period – the film takes us all the way to 1907 and the creation of a critical painting in the history of art – Les Demoiselles d’Avignon. It was a painting that shocked the art world but changed it irrevocably. Picasso was only 25 years old. Working closely with all three Picasso Museums in Malaga\, Barcelona and Paris this film explains how he rose to great heights.

SUMMARY:Joyce Carol Oates reads from her novel: The Hazards of Time Travel
DESCRIPTION:Joyce Carol Oates reads from her latest novel The Hazards of Time Travel\, an ingenious\, dystopian novel of one young woman’s resistance against the constraints of an oppressive society.\n\n\n\n\nTo reserve your seat\, please purchase a copy of The Hazards of Time Travel by speaking to a bookseller or ordering from our website. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n“Time travel”–and its hazards–are made literal in this astonishing new novel in which a recklessly idealistic girl dares to test the perimeters of her tightly controlled (future) world and is punished by being sent back in time to a region of North America–“Wainscotia\, Wisconsin”–that existed eighty years before. Cast adrift in time in this idyllic Midwestern town she is set upon a course of “rehabilitation”–but cannot resist falling in love with a fellow exile and questioning the constrains of the Wainscotia world with results that are both devastating and liberating. \nArresting and visionary\, Hazards of Time Travel is both a novel of harrowing discovery and an exquisitely wrought love story that may be Joyce Carol Oates’s most unexpected novel so far. \nJoyce Carol Oates is a recipient of the National Medal of Humanities\, the National Book Critics Circle Ivan Sandrof Lifetime Achievement Award\, the National Book Award\, and the PEN/Malamud Award for Excellence in Short Fiction\, and has been several times nominated for the Pulitzer Prize. She has written some of the most enduring fiction of our time\, including the national bestsellers We Were the Mulvaneys\,Blonde\, which was nominated for the National Book Award\, and the New York Timesbestseller The Falls\, which won the 2005 Prix Femina. She is the Roger S. Berlind Distinguished Professor of the Humanities at Princeton University and has been a member of the American Academy of Arts and Letters since 1978. She spends winters in Berkeley.
