Memoir explores a woman coping with middle age
Author NUALA O'FAOLAIN is ALMOST THERE. That's not meant as a criticism of her mental state; it's the title of her latest memoir. Following her debut, Are You Somebody?, O'Faolain now journeys to the middle ages; well, a woman's middle age and the many changes, both physical and emotional, that come with it. O'Faolain (geez, that is not an easy name to spell) will discuss these potentially trying times at a book-signing at 7 p.m. Wednesday at Joseph-Beth Booksellers. 513-396-8960. ...
How this became a literary event, I can't explain. But every year Joseph-Beth proudly unveils the SUMMERFAIR POSTER DEBUT, and this year is no different. This year's artist ARCHIE AXENBAUM will be on hand 1-3 p.m. Sunday to sign his work, which will cost $7 (as opposed to the usual $20) on this day only. 513-396-8960. ...
OK, maybe it's a journalistic gaffe for me to point out a book written by a reporter for The Cincinnati Enquirer, but JOHN ECKBERG, in conjunction with Stephen Combs, has followed a morbidly fascinating tale. ROAD DOG commands the story of Glen Rogers, the serial killer with Tristate ties. Eckberg appears at Joseph-Beth (really, stuff does happen at other bookstores in this city) at 7 p.m. Tuesday. 513-396-8960. ...
Usually no one likes to celebrate birthdays past 39. The big 4-0 seems to cause mass emotional psychosis. Well, having long passed the midlife crisis years,THE PUBLIC LIBRARY OF CINCINNATI AND HAMILTON COUNTY is actually quite proud of its forthcoming milestone -- turning 150. The big, blowout bash, titled FREE & PUBLIC FAMILY FEST, takes place on March 15. Hosted by WCPO-TV's Carol Williams and Clyde Gray, the festivities will hearken back to the days when there were fewer books as the Atrium becomes a carnival complete with a midway of booths for crafts, balloons and games. Those yearning to travel to yesteryear can partake in a novelty portrait or see the demonstration of an antique printing press. Well-wishes can be delivered courtesy of a "Share Your Memories" survey. 513-369-6974.
