SUMMARY:Fort Washington Library: Get Lit! Book Club - Lincoln in the Bardo by George Saunders
DESCRIPTION:Join us for the Get Lit! Book Club\, neighborhood edition! Each month\, New Yorkers come together to read and discuss a popular title leading up to a live event with WNYC’s Alison Stewart and the author. This month’s book is Lincoln in the Bardo by George Saunders. \nThis neighborhood book club takes place at the Fort Washington Branch. Meet fellow readers and share your thoughts about the book! Learn more and download the book at nypl.org/getlit \nThe September title is George Saunders’ Booker Prize winning novel Lincoln in the Bardo\, a moving and original father-son story featuring none other than Abraham Lincoln\, as well as an unforgettable cast of supporting characters\, living and dead\, historical and invented. \nFrom the Publisher: February 1862. With the Civil War less than one year old\, President Lincoln’s beloved eleven-year-old son\, Willie\, lies gravely ill. In a matter of days\, Willie dies and is laid to rest in a Georgetown cemetery. Newspapers report that a grief-stricken Lincoln returns\, alone\, to the crypt several times to hold his boy’s body. From that seed of historical truth\, George Saunders spins an unforgettable story that breaks free of its realistic framework into a thrilling\, supernatural realm\, deploying a kaleidoscopic\, theatrical panorama of voices—living and dead\, historical and invented—to ask a timeless question: How do we live and love when we know that everything we love must end? \nDon’t forget to register to join Alison Stewart along with the author and readers everywhere for a live conversation\, in-person or online\, on Wednesday\, September 30\, 2026\, from 6 – 7 PM.

The pages sing with fresh\, lyrical prose; a must-read.” —Kirkus\, starred review \nABOUT THE BOOK\nBetween the looming buildings of Brooklyn\, a young Dominican American boy only ever called mijo by his family has just lost his father to brain cancer.

Determined to find out the truth behind his father’s appearances\, he sets out on the streets of Brooklyn with his outspoken friend Naño\, and in the hills of the Dominican Republic with his cousin Matias\, in search of answers\, only to discover more ghostly apparitions and inexplicable occurrences. In a world of lost things and in-betweens\, the grief-stricken son must choose whether he can bear to let go of his father or accept the consequences of what we let haunt us. \nABOUT THE AUTHOR\nAyendy Bonifacio (he/him/his) is a Dominican American writer\, poet\, and scholar whose work explores memory\, migration\, race\, and the legacies of colonialism in the Americas. He is the author of Dique Dominican; To the River\, We Are Migrants: Poems/Poemas; and Bless Me\, Papi.

SUMMARY:Hispanic Society: Book Presentation with Jonathan Goldman
DESCRIPTION:Book Presentation with Jonathan Goldman\nJoin us for a conversation with Jonathan Goldman on the Puerto Rican experience in 1920s New York. \nLearn more about the book here: \nIn Hidden Histories of Jazz Age: New York: From the Suppressed to the Strange\, Jonathan Goldman offers a fresh look at 1920s New York City\, unearthing stories of everyday life and marginalized communities. In sections that intertwine entertainment\, politics\, art\, technology\, crime\, shopping\, eating\, and recreation\, the book portrays sweeping events such as the Harlem Renaissance\, Prohibition\, and immigration reform through anecdotes of individual experiences that counter the era’s popular conceptions of ballooning wealth and uproarious celebration. Jonathan Ezra Goldman’s whirlwind tour of early 1920s New York City visits an all-female police platoon\, a Black amusement park shut down before it opened\, an Arabic literary salon\, socialist Puerto Rican cigar factories\, Chinatown funerals\, lesbian cafes\, overcrowded jails\, toxic dumps\, and Ku Klux Klan recruitment offices. The grand narratives of the 1920s interweave with little-known anecdotes about well-known figures such as Marcus Garvey\, Dorothy Parker\, and Babe Ruth\, serving as a backdrop to the everyday challenges and triumphs of a city beset by crowds\, automobile traffic\, and rapidly changing technology and urban infrastructure\, as well as erased stories of injustices like Jim Crow practices\, immigration anxieties\, and the violent treatment of political dissent. These stories still resonate today\, showing that this dizzying\, exuberant ride through hidden history can help twenty-first readers see our own moment more clearly. \nJonathan Ezra Goldman is Professor in the Humanities Department at New York Institute of Technology. His previous books include Modernism Is the Literature of Celebrity and Joyce and the Law. He lives in New York City.
