DESCRIPTION:Colm Tóibín is the author of eleven novels\, including the forthcoming Long Island; The Magician\, winner of the Rathbones Folio Prize; The Master\, winner of the Los Angeles Times Book Prize; Brooklyn\, winner of the Costa Book Award; The Testament of Mary; and Nora Webster; as well as two story collections and several books of criticism. He is the Irene and Sidney B. Silverman Professor of the Humanities at Columbia University and has been named as the Laureate for Irish Fiction for 2022-2024 by the Arts Council of Ireland. Three times shortlisted for the Booker Prize\, Tóibín lives in Dublin and New York. \nThe author will be joining us at East Meadow Library to read from and discuss his latest novel\, Long Island. From the beloved\, critically acclaimed New York Times bestselling author comes a spectacularly moving and intense novel of secrecy\, misunderstanding\, and love\, the story of Eilis Lacey\, the complex and enigmatic heroine of Brooklyn\, Tóibín’s most popular work twenty years later. \nEilis Lacey is Irish\, married to Tony Fiorello\, a plumber and one of four Italian American brothers\, all of whom live in neighboring houses on a cul-de-sac in Lindenhurst\, Long Island\, with their wives and children and Tony’s parents\, a huge extended family that lives and works\, eats and plays together. It is the spring of 1976 and Eilis\, now in her forties with two teenage children\, has no one to rely on in this still-new country. Though her ties to Ireland remain stronger than those that hold her to her new land and home\, she has not returned in decades. \nLong Island is about longings unfulfilled\, even unrecognized. The silences in Eilis’ life are thunderous and dangerous\, and there’s no one more deft than Tóibín at giving them language. This is a gorgeous story of a woman alone in a marriage and the deepest bonds she rekindles on her return to the place and people she left behind\, to ways of living and loving she thought she’d lost. Copies of Long Island will be available for purchase.

Long before she had children of her own\, journalist Carrie Mullins knew how mothers should behave. But how? Where did these expectations come from–and\, more importantly\, are they serving the mothers whose lives they shape? Carrie’s suspicion\, later crystallized while raising two small children\, was that our culture’s idealization of motherhood was not only painfully limiting but harmful\, leaving women to cope with impossible standards–standards rarely created by mothers themselves. \nTo discover how we might talk about motherhood in a more realistic\, nuanced\, and inclusive way\, Carrie turned to literature with memorable maternal figures for answers. Moving through the literary canon–from Pride and Prejudice and Little Women to The Great Gatsby\, Beloved\, Heartburn\, and The Joy Luck Club–Carrie traces the origins of our modern mothering experience. By interrogating the influences of politics\, economics\, feminism\, pop culture\, and family life in each text\, she identifies the factors that have shaped our prevailing views of motherhood\, and puts these classics into conversation with the most urgent issues of the day. Who were these literary mothers\, beyond their domestic responsibilities and familial demands? And what lessons do they have for us today–if we choose to listen?  \nBooks will be available for purchase and signing. \nCarrie Mullins is a journalist and essayist whose work has appeared in Parents\, Food & Wine Magazine\, Epicurious\, Tin House\, and Publishers Weekly\, among other publications. She is a former National Editor at the James Beard Award-winning website Serious Eats and a longtime contributor to Electric Literature\, where she covered the intersection of literature and culture.  \nCarol Hoenig writes for Long Island Woman Magazine and is an award-winning novelist whose latest novel\, “Before She Was a Finley” will be published September 10\, 2024.
