SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Julie Buntin
DESCRIPTION:Literati is thrilled to welcome Julie Buntin to celebrate the release of *Famous Men*. She will be joined in conversation by Lillian Li.\n\nAbout the Book: From the acclaimed author of *Marlena* comes a vivid\, uncompromising novel about a young woman looking for a father and finding herself.\n\nWill Miles is trapped. Trapped in tiny Greening\, Michigan\, where a toxic high school rumor has turned her into a social exile. Trapped in the predictable routines of her mother\, and under the unrelenting gaze of her mother’s increasingly sinister boyfriend. But when Will stumbles across the early poems of Nathaniel Fellow\, a famous writer forty years her senior who also grew up in Greening\, she feels she’s found a kindred spirit. A passing comment from her mother only adds to Will’s fascination: Is Nathaniel the father she’s never known?\n\nWill orchestrates a plan to track Nathaniel down\, following in his footsteps to New York City\, where she learns he’s not the answer to her past\, not the way she imagined. But their meeting sparks a complicated\, consuming relationship that gives Will sidelong access to a world she’s only ever imagined: of writers and intellectuals\, a financial safety net\, and\, most intoxicatingly\, a glimpse into her own potential. But who is Nathaniel Fellow\, off the page? And what will shaping her life to suit his cost her? When a torrent of information about his past threatens not just her life with Nathaniel\, but the story she tells herself about him\, Will is faced with a choice that will change everything.\n\nA gripping novel about ambition\, parents and children\, and all the ways women still pay for men’s mistakes\, *Famous Men* traces one woman’s journey to the truth of where she comes from\, what she’s capable of\, and how she might start again.\n\nJulie Buntin is the co-editor of *Notes to New Mothers*\, a collection of dispatches from postpartum life by sixty writers and artists. Her debut novel\, *Marlena*\, was a finalist for the National Book Critics Circle’s John Leonard Prize\, released in ten territories worldwide\, and named a best book of the year by over a dozen outlets\, including *The Washington Post*\, *NPR*\, and *Kirkus Reviews*. Previously\, Buntin was an editor and director of writing programs at Catapult. Now\, she writes and teaches in Ann Arbor\, where she is an assistant professor at the University of Michigan.\n\nLillian Li is the author of the novel *Bad Asians*\, and *Number One Chinese Restaurant*\, which was an NPR Best Book\, and longlisted for the Women’s Prize and the Center for Fiction’s First Novel Prize. Her work has been published in the *New York Times*\, *Granta*\, and *The Guardian*\, among others. Originally from the D.C. metro area\, she lives in Ann Arbor.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Muted Volumes: Book-Objects\, Patterned Papers\, and the Closed Stacks of Buhr
DESCRIPTION:This exhibit in the Clark Library rotunda focuses on handmade decorative patterned papers when exploring books stored at the library's Buhr Offsite Shelving Facility. Decorative paper\, noticed when walking through the stack's aisles or surprising you when you casually flip through a book\, can really catch your eye. But because the Buhr stacks are closed from browsing\, the density and dimensionality of its nearly 3 million books are reduced to title searches on a screen.\n\nAs a response to these reflections\, artist and library staff member Stephanie Osorio shares her handbound unopenable book-objects as symbolic stand-ins for forgotten books at Buhr — the books that don’t get a chance to be noticed. Along with the book-objects are the carved woodblocks that made prints to decorate them. Some books from Buhr that inspired this project with their original decorated patterned papers will also be on display.\n\nView the exhibit anytime the Hatcher Library is open\, and join us for an opening reception on Thursday\, May 14th\, 5pm - 6:30pm\, for an opportunity to hear from the artist and engage with the book-objects.
