What earth shattering secret is the Vatican hiding? And what connection does it have with a small roadside attraction called Captain Kendrick's Memorial Hot Dog Wildlife Preserve in Skagit County, Washington, and a former Duke University football star? The answer can only be found in Tom Robbin's first novel. A quirky, hilarious tale with memorable characters and a touch of Sixties ideology. One of my favorite novels of all time. - Tim
From Nancy- I must mention again how much I liked, no, loved The Dog Stars by Peter Heller, now in paperback. "A stupendous debut, Heller's voice is both haunted and irresistible. A post-apocalyptic novel with so much emotional truth it reads like a memoir from the future. About a worn-out pilot, his beloved Cessna, his copilot dog and our endless longing for connection — even in a world undone." — Junot Diaz

WILLIAM HENRY CURRY - NC Symphony Resident Conductor On Shakespeare's Influence
06/11/2012 7:30 pm
Join North Carolina Symphony Resident Conductor William Henry Curry for an
in-depth look at Shakespeare’s influence on the music of Mendelssohn, Dvorak,
Prokofiev, Tchaikovsky and Bernstein. They all took his texts to another
stratosphere through song. Maestro Curry will talk about how he plans to
present these unforgettable musical works together with scenes from Othello, A
Midsummer Night’s Dream and Romeo and Juliet live with the Symphony later this
summer. This program is co-sponsored by WCPE - The Classical Station.
This quiet, powerful story, set in the High Plains of Colorado, tells how the terminal illness of a much beloved citizen in the community affects his family and friends. It's a beautiful, deeply moving story. - Nancy
