Roger Rosenblatt shares his new book “Cataract Blues” with us.

March 7 @ 7:00 PM - 8:30 PM

Free

We are thrilled to host Roger Rosenblatt for a reading and discussion of his new book Cataract Blues: Running the Keyboard. With illustrations  by Jules Feiffer, this book is not only a celebration of the musicality of language, supported by illustrations that make this book a small treasure, but it is a reflection on life. An event not to be missed. Live on zoom.

 About the book:

In his latest book, award-winning author Roger Rosenblatt charts a journey that is as visual as it is poetic. Cataract Blues, on the surface, is a collection of lyric fragments illustrated by the legendary Jules Feiffer.
A careful reading (and viewing) rewards bibliophiles (and optical aficionados) with a nuanced, thoughtful, and magical paper machine that is about seeing, cataracts, mystery, the blues, insight, love, and memory.
At once a masterpiece of creative non-fiction and a poetic experiment, ‘Blues invites readers to consider new approaches to the visual and the literary.
