SUMMARY:Anna North
DESCRIPTION:Chautauqua Literary and Scientific Circle — Bog Queen: A Novel by Anna North  \nThe latest from New York Times bestselling novelist Anna North—a monumental discovery sets off a clash of worlds\, past and present\, over the fate of the land that holds us.   \nWhen a body is found in a bog in northwest England\, Agnes\, an American forensic anthropologist\, is called to investigate. But this body is not like any she’s ever seen. Though its bones prove it was buried more than two thousand years ago\, it is almost completely preserved.  \nSoon Agnes is drawn into a mystery from the distant past\, called to understand and avenge the death of an Iron Age woman more like her than she knows. Along the way\, she must contend with peat-cutters who want to profit from the bog and activists who demand that the land be left undisturbed. Then there’s the moss itself: a complex repository of artifacts and remains\, with its own dark stories to tell.  \nAs Agnes faces the deep history of what she has unearthed\, she’s also forced to question what she thought she knew about her talent\, her self-reliance\, and her place in the world. Flashing between the uncertainty of post-Brexit England and the druidic order of Celtic Europe at the dawn of the Roman era\, Bog Queen brims with contemporary urgency and ancient wisdom as it connects across time two gifted\, farsighted young women learning to harness their strange strengths in a landscape more mysterious and complex than either can imagine.  \nAnna North is the author of the instant New York Times bestseller and Reese’s Book Club pick Outlawed\, America Pacifica\, and Lambda Literary Award winner The Life and Death of Sophie Stark. She is a senior correspondent at Vox. She lives in Brooklyn.

SUMMARY:Chautauqua Theater Company Presents New Play Workshop 1: Ahoy-Hoy by Jenny Stafford
DESCRIPTION:History has never been this ridiculous nor this fun! It’s 1876\, and Alexander Graham Bell and his archrival\, Elisha Gray\, compete to save the world from the tyranny of telegraphs. Toiling in their laboratories\, skullduggery ensues as the inventors go to extraordinary lengths in their absurd quest for legacy. Who will claim the title? Stranger-than-fiction\, Ahoy-Hoy is a deliriously unhinged gallop through the (mostly) true tale of the invention of the telephone.

SUMMARY:Preservation Hall Jazz Band
DESCRIPTION:At a moment when musical streams are crossing with unprecedented frequency\, it’s crucial to remember that throughout its history\, New Orleans has been the point at which sounds and cultures from around the world converge\, mingle\, and resurface\, transformed by the Crescent City’s inimitable spirit and joie de vivre. Nowhere is that idea more vividly embodied than in the Preservation Hall Jazz Band\, which has held the torch of New Orleans music aloft for more than 65 years\, all the while carrying it enthusiastically forward as a reminder that the history they were founded to preserve is a vibrantly living history. \nPHJB marches that tradition forward once again on So It Is. The album redefines what New Orleans music means today by tapping into a sonic continuum that stretches back to the city’s Afro-Cuban roots\, through its common ancestry with the Afrobeat of Fela Kuti and the Fire Music of Pharoah Sanders and John Coltrane\, and forward to cutting-edge artists with whom the PHJB have shared festival stages from Coachella to Newport\, including legends like Stevie Wonder\, Elvis Costello and the Grateful Dead and modern giants like Beck\, The Foo Fighters\, My Morning Jacket\, and the Black Keys.
