The group discusses "Unquiet: My Life with Beethoven" by Jonathan Biss and "Imagine Me Gone" by Adam Haslett. Presented in partnership with Princeton University Concerts. Register for Zoom link.
In advance of the “Healing with Music” event "Anxiety, Depression, and Music" featuring pianist Jonathan Biss and writer Adam Haslett, join us via Zoom for this book club discussion presented in partnership with the Princeton University Concerts. We will begin by exploring Biss’ audiobook "Unquiet: My Life with Beethoven" and then discuss Haslett’s bestselling novel "Imagine Me Gone."
"Imagine Me Gone" is the unforgettable story of what unfolds when, in an act of love and faith, Margaret decides to marry John despite his crippling depression.
With "Unquiet," a free Audible Words + Music series book, Jonathan Biss, the world-renowned pianist and critical Beethoven interpreter of our time, reveals his grapple with anxiety in the face of “living with Beethoven.” Unquiet both begins and ends with Jonathan Biss staring down the daunting complexity and infinite majesty of Beethoven’s last piano sonatas. But between these two points, the singular pianist has traversed a world of healing.
This program is part of National Library Week, an annual observance sponsored by the American Library Association during April that highlights the essential role of libraries and encourages communities to explore all that their local library has to offer.
