SUMMARY:Live Talks NY presents Barbara Kingsolver
DESCRIPTION:Live Talks NY presents Barbara Kingsolver discussing her new novel\, Partita \nAll tickets include a copy of her novel\, Partita. \nThe story of a brief\, passionate\, life-changing love affair\, wrapped up in what might be the greatest romance of all: our eternal human longing for art and beauty. \nBarbara Kingsolver is the author of ten bestselling works of fiction\, including the novels Unsheltered\, The Bean Trees\, and The Poisonwood Bible\, as well as books of poetry\, essays\, creative nonfiction\, and Coyote’s Wild Home\, a children’s book co-authored with Lily Kingsolver. She also collaborated with family members on the influential Animal\, Vegetable\, Miracle: A Year of Food Life. Kingsolver’s work has been translated into more than thirty languages and has earned a devoted readership at home and abroad. She is a member of the American Academy of Arts and Letters\, and has received numerous awards and honors including the 2023 Pulitzer Prize for Fiction for her novel\, Demon Copperhead\, the National Humanities Medal\, and most recently\, the National Book Foundation’s Medal for Distinguished Contribution to American Letters. She lives with her husband on a farm in southern Appalachia. \nLivia Cable has made her peace with her marriage and modest livelihood in the farm country where she grew up\, until a shocking phone call from an old lover shakes her to the core. Decades earlier\, this man knew her as Livia Bohusz\, a music conservatory student estranged from her home and family\, uncertain of anything except her passion for music and promise as an extraordinary pianist. His request\, now\, to see her again stirs up ghosts she’s kept at bay for a lifetime.\nShifting between past and present\, Livia’s decision to meet or reject the reunion means confronting step by step\, in memories framed as musical dances\, the experiences of childhood loss\, abandonment\, self-immolating passion\, and perilous attachment to a man who broke her belief in love and ruptured the course of her life.\nWith razor-sharp acuity and deep affection\, Pulitzer Prize winner Barbara Kingsolver’s unforgettable new novel reflects on class barriers\, the risks of ambition\, and the timeless\, life-changing power of art. \nLive Talks NY is produced by Los Angeles based Live Talks Productions which has curated the Live Talks Los Angeles series for the last 16 years featuring over 600 conversations with writers\, actors\, musicians\, humorists\, artists\, chefs\, scientists and thought leaders in business.

SUMMARY:An Ode to Francis Saltus Saltus
DESCRIPTION:A night of verse about wives\, wine and the grave\, from a wickedly witty Gilded Age poet!\nJoin Sleepy Hollow Cemetery for an evening in honor of illustrious poet\, linguist\, musician and scholar Francis Saltus Saltus\, a name so nice\, they gave it to him twice. \nFluent in 10 languages\, the ambidextrous Francis was said to be able to write sonnets with one hand while simultaneously composing opera with the other. He was quite a character\, to put it mildly. \nThe epitome of “live fast\, die young”\, Saltus penned classics like Flasks & Flagons\, an ode to 31 beverages including tea\, hot chocolate\, coffee\, water – and 27 kinds of alcohol. It’s no wonder he died at age 40 in 1889. \nEnjoy a reading of his delightful poems and quaff an adult beverage or two to get in the right spirit before visiting his grave. It will be the perfect way to pay our respects to the talented Mr. Saltus! \nAges 21+. Seated indoor event; runs rain or shine (grave visit weather permitting). \n\nAn Ode to Francis Saltus Saltus is just one stop on Sleepy Hollow Cemetery’s 2026 special-events calendar. This fall\, you can also catch dramatic readings of Dracula\, Frankenstein\, Jekyll & Hyde\, and The Time Machine; step into an interactive Murder Mystery inspired by Washington Irving’s most famous tale; sip Champagne Cocktails with the Dead among the cemetery’s grandest mausoleums; and paint your own Headless Horseman alongside artist Heather Gleason. See the full lineup and reserve your seats at sleepyhollowcemetery.org/special-events.
