Larchmere First Fridays

Larchmere Boulevard is pleased to present a series of First Friday events from May until October. Shops will be open until 9pm, and restaurants will be open until midnight. So come join us, nightowls, for a night on the Boulevard! At Loganberry Books, we'll be celebrating with live music (and a lot of books).

Kristopher Morron
Friday, June 1, 7-8:30 p.m.
~ first Friday ~

Kristopher Morron will join us with his guzheng – a 2,000-year-old Chinese instrument. How did a musician born in North Dakota and raised in Cleveland end up making music on the guzheng? The unlikely tale began for Morron with a family trip to Florida and continued to unfold when he reconnected with a musician friend living in Shanghai. Cloudlands is “a collection of musical conversations between old friends,” explained Morron. “Each improvised piece is haunting and beautiful, dissonant and harmonious.” The tracks captured on the album represent years of close collaborations yet display creative spontaneity.

T555: Two tribes of tiny human like creatures

I used to read this book in my local library as a child around 1993. It was a fantasy fiction with these great illustrations that were so detailed and full of activity. The image I remember is of these two tribes of tiny human like creatures in a forest setting, one tribe in red the other in blue..

Milan Kundera: The Unbearable Lightness of Being
Thursday, May 24, 7 p.m.
~ fourth Thursdays ~

A young woman is in love with a successful surgeon, a man torn between his love for her and his incorrigible womanizing. His mistress, a free-spirited artist, lives her life as a series of betrayals--while her other lover, earnest, faithful, and good, stands to lose everything because of his noble qualities. In a world where lives are shaped by irrevocable choices and fortuitous events, and everything occurs but once, existence seems to lose its substance, its weight. Hence we feel "the unbearable lightness of being." A major achievement from one of the world's truly great writers, Milan Kundera's magnificent novel of passion and politics, infidelity and ideas, encompasses the extremes of comedy and tragedy, illuminating all aspects of human existence. Hope to see you for the discussion!

Helen Hunt Jackson: Ramona

Thursday, June 28, 7 p.m.
~ fourth Thursdays ~

One of the greatest ethical novels of the nineteenth century, this is a tale of true love tested. Set in Old California, this powerful narrative richly depicts the life of the fading Spanish order, the oppression of tribal American communities and inevitably, the brutal intrusion of white settlers. Ramona, an illegitimate orphan, grows up as the ward of the overbearing Senora Moreno. But her desire for Alessandro, a Native American, makes her an outcast and fugitive.
