The @Macaulay Author Series will bring writers of the best in new fiction and nonfiction to a neighborhood teeming with culture consumers and booklovers.
The monthly reading series gets underway on Thursday, October 4, with award-winning author Susanna Moore reading from, discussing and signing copies of her new novel.
In The Life of Objects (Alfred A. Knopf) the author of such acclaimed works as The Big Girls, In the Cut, and My Old Sweetheart brings us the tragic, suspenseful tale of a glamorous, courageous and seductive bevy of art collectors in the Germany of World War II, and the young Irish Protestant lace-maker who comes to serve them. Advance word has proclaimed it Moore’s best book yet, and Joan Didion calls it “exhilarating…truly exciting, new, everything good…every word.”
“Imagine Downton Abbey crossed with In the Garden of the Beasts as fashioned by a literary master at the peak of her powers.” KURT ANDERSEN
Tickets are now on sale for True Delta, a Mississippi Blues documentary directed by Daniel Cowen ’11 (Hunter) and Macaulay Professor Lee Quinby. This project is a great example of faculty and student collaboration. Mac Warren ’12 (City College) designed the fonts and posters and Macaulay research assistants Alannah Feyrenbach ’15 (Brooklyn) and Daniel Scarpati ’15 (Brooklyn) are working on a forthcoming documentary related to this one. The screening is at the Film Society of Lincoln Center. To purchase tickets online, visit the Film Society’s tickets webpage.
Immediately following True Delta, you’re invited to a live “Mississippi Juke Joint” back at Macaulay (35 W67)—a special performance by one of the performers featured in the film—Bill “Howl-N-Madd” Perry and his band. This will take place in the Commons and Cabaret Spaces.
In Red Rain, Stine uses his unerring knack for
creating terror to tap into some very grownup fears.
For the millions of readers who grew up on
Goosebumps, and for every fan of deviously inventive
horror, this is a must-read from a beloved master
of the genre.

New Book: A Tribute to Our Father
This is a tribute to my families’ earthly father, but is also a tribute to our heavenly Father who transformed a sad time in our lives into a very beautiful tapestry. This booklet is a compilation of the experience of my family leading up to, and during, our father’s final days before he went home to be with the Lord.
In the death of my father, God has birthed new life in our family in the form of unity, fellowship, resolution of grief, restoration of family relationships, healing of broken hearts, and the preeminent establishment of God’s steadfast love. I believe the full fruits of events have yet to be fully revealed. Dad’s greatest ministry to the family was his final years. This is like when Jesus foretells of his death:
“Truly, truly, I say to you, unless a grain of wheat falls into the earth and dies, it remains alone; but if it dies, it bears much fruit.” (John 12:24)
My desire in writing this tribute is to encourage you to honor your parents.
Antichrist - The Hour of Testing
When one hears the word antichrist, many images can be recalled in the mind because of the many references that have floated around in society. Jesus spoke of an hour of testing which is about to come upon the whole world.
“Because you have kept the word of My perseverance, I also will keep you from the hour of testing, that hour which is about to come upon the whole world, to test those who dwell on the earth.” (Revelation 3:10)
That time of testing begins when the antichrist is revealed. We will look at the scriptures and examine what they say about the antichrist who is to come. This book is a companion to the book called "In the Last Days.”
Book: Hearing Your Voice
Book: In the Last Days
The Bible speaks of the second coming of Jesus in glory and power and the events that will happen before He returns. As we look around the world we see evil springing forth in abundance and we wonder where it is all going and if His return is imminent. There are many conflicting interpretations of the end time events, but the word of God is singular in its meaning of what is to come. This book provides insight into these events by answering some of the most difficult questions and providing a framework and context in which to build a proper understanding of what is to come. Before Jesus returns, there will be a revival of unprecedented proportions and a restoration of the fear of God that will sweep the earth. Repentance will be the cornerstone of the coming revival and God is going to pour out His grace in overflowing abundance.
Book: Stories of Faith
Sanctify Christ as Lord in your hearts, always being ready to make a defense to everyone who asks you to give an account for the hope that is in you, yet with gentleness and reverence.
1 Peter 3:15
This book explores the existence of God through the miraculous works He performs. This writing is a collection of true stories from family, friends and my own testimony. God answers prayer to show us He is there and hearing how God works in the lives of real everyday people will be a source of inspiration and encouragement. If you have never seen God answer prayer, you will be amazed at what what you are about to read. These stories are a small slice of the countless miracles that God has done throughout the centuries. The apostle John wrote, “And there are also many other things which Jesus did, which if they were written in detail, I suppose that even the world itself would not contain the books that would be written.” (John 21:25) Let these stories grow your faith that God is there and He loves you.

This blog post is dedicated to my best friend Sara, who has spent a good portion of her life having emotions about T.S. Eliot and The Wasteland. (But I’m not talking about The Wasteland.)
One of my first interactions with T.S. Eliot outside of a classroom setting was in John Green’s novel The Fault in Our Stars. During the novel, the main character Hazel goes with her boyfriend, Augustus, to Amsterdam. On the airplane, she reads “The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock” much to the amusement of Augustus, who is not literarily minded at all. The poem plays a small part in the book, but it made me smile to see one of my favorite Eliot poems in popular young adult fiction. (Then I cried, because that book is sad.) The point is, despite Eliot’s high class writing, his poetry is still approachable today.
And then I discovered “The Love Song of J. Alfred Capslock” by Aaron Belz. And it is magnificent.
The way in which Belz writes both as a tribute to Eliot but still manages to poke fun at Eliot’s high strung style and content is masterful in a playful way. Where Eliot writes pages of precise craft with copious footnotes for the less educated reader, Belz jumps right into the current dialect of the internet and texting age, appropriating Eliot’s character as lost and confused in an afterlife for the present age. The complete contrast of language between the two poets leaves me wondering at first if they even should be compared. And then I chuckle again at Belz and know that the humor alone is worth the comparison.
Eliot is know for his complexity, verbosity, and the fact that no one can really figure out what exactly The Wasteland means. His knowledge and ability to make allusions to literally anything and everything is part of what sets him apart from other poets. Reading Eliot without footnotes is just a bad idea. So to read Belz portraying Eliot in such a simple manner, with language and content that a sixth grader would have a perfect grasp of, is a refreshing and humorous contrast. It feels a little rude to say that “The Love Song of J. Alfred Capslock” has won my affections for the day, but really, I’m still giggling at how excellently opposite of “The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock” it is.
