SUMMARY:Daniel Barbarisi reads from his first book Dueling with Kings
DESCRIPTION:Daniel Barbarisi quits his job as the New York Yankees beat writer for The Wall Street Journal and begins a quest: to join the top one percent of Daily Fantasy Sports (“DFS”) players\, the so-called “sharks\,” and figure out whether DFS is on the level—while maybe cashing in along the way. \nDFS is fantasy sports on steroids. It’s the domain of bitter rivals FanDuel and DraftKings\, online juggernauts who turned a legal loophole into a billion-dollar industry by allowing sports fans bet piles of cash constructing fantasy teams. \nYet as Barbarisi quickly realized\, what should have been a fun companion to casual sports viewing was instead a ferocious environment infested with sharks\, a top tier of pros wielding complex algorithms\, drafting hundreds of lineups\, and wagering six figures daily as they bludgeon unsuspecting amateur “fish.” Barbarisi embeds himself inside the world of DFS\, befriending and joining its rogue’s gallery as he tries to beat them at their own game. \nIn a work equal parts adventure and rigorously reported investigation\, Barbarisi wades into this chaotic industry at the very moment its existence is threatened by lawmakers sick of its Wild West atmosphere and pushy advertising. All their money made FanDuel and DraftKings seem invincible; but\, as Barbarisi reports\, they made plenty of dubious—perhaps even scandalous—moves as they vied for market supremacy.

SUMMARY:Please join us for the launch of Orbit\, a new collection of poems by Cynthia Zarin
DESCRIPTION:With Orbit\, prize-winning author Cynthia Zarin confirms her place as an indispensable American poet of our time. \nIn this\, her fifth collection\, Zarin turns her lyric lens on the worlds within worlds we inhabit and how we navigate our shared predicament—the tables of our lives on which the news of the day is strewn: the president speaking to parishioners in Charleston\, the ricochet of violence\, near and far. Whether writing about hairpin turns in the stair of childhood\, the cat’s claw of anxiety\, on the impending loss of a young friend\, or how “love endures\, give or take\,” here is the poet who\, in the title poem\, “bartered forty summers for black pearls” and whose work is full of such wagers\, embodied in playing cards\, treble notes\, snow globes\, and balancing acts. Zarin reminds us that the atmosphere created by our experiences shapes and defines the orbit we move through. Along the way\, she is both witness and\, often indirectly\, subject—“I do not know how to hold the beauty and sorrow of my life\,” she writes. This book is an attempt at an answer.

SUMMARY:John Freely on Tuesday\, March 14th: CANCELLED DUE TO THE WEATHER MOVED TO WEDNESDAY\, MARCH 15th
DESCRIPTION:An engaging\, funny\, and tender memoir from a man of ninety years: of growing up poor in a Brooklyn and Ireland that now exist only in memory\, and of serving in the China/Burma/India theater during World War II as a member of an elite U.S. Navy commando unit \nJohn Freely’s voice is still astonishingly youthful\, full of wonder\, humor\, and gratitude\, as he remembers his fully lived life. Born in Brooklyn to Irish immigrants\, he went to Ireland with his mother when he was five\, where he spent his young childhood on his grandfather’s farm. Western Ireland was impoverished by the times\, but rich in beauty and intriguing people\, and it opened in him a lifelong desire to see the world and its inhabitants. When he was seven\, he returned to Brooklyn\, and the antics of a coming-of-age boy played out on streets filled with character and characters. He took whatever jobs he could when times got tough\, always shaking off his losses and moving on\, hungry to see and experience what was next. He joined the U.S. Navy at seventeen to “see the world\,” and did just that. In wartime\, while bringing supplies and ammunition over the Stilwell-Burma Road to Chiang Kai-shek’s Chinese guerrilla forces\, Freely served alongside them during the last weeks of World War II in the Tibetan borderlands of China\, a Shangri-la that war had turned into hell on earth.

She’s still recovering from a devastating car accident that has left her haunted by recurring\, smoke-filled nightmares. Worse still\, she can’t shake the ominous feeling her dreams contain a warning. In the beginning\, Bryn’s husband Guy couldn’t have been more supportive.
