SUMMARY:Wilton Reads – F. Scott Fitzgerald and The Jazz Age with Mark Schenker
DESCRIPTION:Mark J. Schenker of Yale College will discuss F. Scott Fitzgerald’s life and work in the 1920s—a period he both depicted in his fiction and came to represent in his personal life—through the lens of Tales of the Jazz Age (1922). The most popular of the four short story collections published in the author’s short lifetime (1896-1940)\, Tales of the Jazz Age reflects the eclecticism\, exuberance and experimentation of the 1920s\, also called the Roaring Twenties because of the high energy and even freneticism of the decade. \nSchenker has been at Yale College since 1990 and is currently a senior associate dean of the College and Dean of Academic Affairs. A former lecturer in the English Department at Yale\, he received his Ph.D. from Columbia University with a concentration in 19th-century and early 20th-century English literature. He is a favorite guest speaker at Wilton Library. Please see the registration link for more speaker and program details. Registration is required in order to receive the Zoom link.

SUMMARY:[Wilton Reads] Wilton History Film Screening — Recollections & Remembrances: Stories of Wilton's Yesterdays (In-Person)
DESCRIPTION:Please join Wilton Library for a trip down memory lane as we screen the 2002 documentary film about Wilton’s history\, produced on the 200th anniversary of the town’s separation from Norwalk in 1802\, when Wilton was a farm town with one-room schools\, unpaved roads and swimming in the river. \nOral historians interviewed long-time residents\, some with family histories going back to the 17th and 18th centuries. Filmmakers then combined their footage with historical photographs to create this wonderful film. Narrated by David and Maureen Canary with music by Chris and Dave Brubeck\, the film follows Wilton’s path from its early roots through two world wars\, the Depression\, a major hurricane and a flood and into the post-WWII period of growth. We’ll see how Wiltonians worked\, played\, and thrived in a rural farming town that became a major suburban community. \nRegistration is required. To register\, visit the Wilton Library website.

SUMMARY:Wilton Reads — Gil Harel Reprise: Charles Ives and the American Music Identity (Zoom)
DESCRIPTION:Please join Wilton Library for an encore broadcast of Dr. Gil Harel‘s presentation on Danbury-born composer Charles Ives. He will discuss Ives as a founder of a distinctly American music idiom. We will follow his presentation with a live Q&A with Harel. \nCharles Ives may very well be considered one of the most important American composers of the modern period. As an artist\, he had two distinct advantages in his career: an unconventional education with something of a maverick pedagogue (his father\, George Ives); and a vocation that provided him with security and\, later on\, considerable wealth. This latter point is often emphasized by historians who cite it as a factor that allowed the composer to write abstract and complex works without having to worry about concert ticket sales. During the latter part of his life\, Ives’ genius began to bring him recognition. Now\, he is regarded as a seminal American composer whose pioneering work with polytonality\, polyrhythm\, tone clusters\, aleatory elements and more has cemented his place in the canon. \nHarel is a musicologist and music theorist whose interests include styles ranging from the western classical repertoire to jazz. Currently\, he teaches music history and theory at Naugatuck Valley Community College. Online registration is required in order to receive the Zoom invitation link. To register\, visit the Wilton Library website.

SUMMARY:Wilton Reads – Author Talk: Wilton\, Connecticut by Bob Russell (In-Person & Zoom)
DESCRIPTION:In Wilton\, Connecticut: Three Centuries of People\, Places\, and Progress\, historian Bob Russell takes readers on a remarkable journey of the town. \nWilton began 300 years ago as part of Norwalk and became a separate town in 1802. Wilton residents enjoyed their close-knit self-sufficient community until the coming of the railroad in 1852 connected them to the rest of the country and changed their lives. City folks soon discovered Wilton as a quiet and healthful summer home alternative. The demand for houses after World War II caused farms to rapidly disappear\, replaced by homes\, schools\, and commercial development. \nAs the story develops\, you will meet the early pioneers\, the Revolutionary patriots\, the Gold Rush prospectors\, and other fascinating people who have helped to build the Wilton of today. \nRussell was educated as an engineer and has ended up as a historian. Along with his 35-year IBM career\, he served on many Wilton town and organization boards including the Wilton Library Association\, the Wilton Historical Society\, Wilton Land Conservation Trust\, the town’s Board of Finance\, the Wilton Fire Commission and later as First Selectman for six years. A resident in the Wilton area for 53 years\, Bob wants to preserve our history for future generations. He has been married to Carol for 60 years and they have raised two children in Wilton. \nRussell will be recognized with a Grodin Family Fine Writers Award during the talk. \nBooks will be available for sale and Russell will be signing books after the presentation. \nRegistration is required. Organizers plan for this program to be in-person at the library and also streamed live on Zoom. The registration form allows attendees to choose their attendance preference. \nThe media sponsor of author talks is GOOD Morning Wilton.
