PUMPKIN HEAD, a special Halloween performance by Bill Connington, with Joyce Carol Oates
Pumpkin Head appeared in the New Yorker magazine in 2009. A disturbing tale of loss, it explores “the violence of bereavement”1 and a “woman floundering about in a world of male force.”2 A recent widow encounters a male visitor who both intrigues and repels her. She struggles with establishing her own identity after the loss of her husband. In this special spooky season event, Bill Connington presents Pumpkin Head and converses with its author, Joyce Carol Oates.
Joyce Carol Oates’ work has been called “audacious” and “dazzling.” The New Yorker has stated, “Oates has become America’s preeminent fiction writer by doing everything you’re not supposed to do.”

Special Exhibition Event: Leslie Harris, A Belief in Books keynote lecture
Hi The New York Society Library! Great content you got there. I think all this channel needs is a little push to get things moving. I can help with that. My info is on this very channel I'm using to comment.
Land "acknowledgement"… Note that we stand here because, slavers and scalpers of their enemies, the people who were here could not manage to hold on to it. Note also that we are not giving it back, so our acknowledgement is a sort of nah-nah-na-nah-nah.
Came here after reading Mr. Panek's enjoyable and enlightening recent book about the JWST. A very engaging speaker! I did have a (likely naive) question if someone reading this has an insight on this--I understand gravity as the "shortest path" between 2 objects placed on a curve of space-time. I wonder then why a particle would be involved in this (the hypothetical "gravitron") or some type of force?
Fascinating talk!
Quite enjoyable save one thing. Not a pandemic. No! A scamdemicplannedemic.
Love, love, love the Nonna Maria series. She is who I want to be when I grow old. Simple priorities in the right order.❤❤❤
Wonderful to see it dramatized but now I have to go back and read it, because there are so many strange and surreal moments, particularly the idea of "passing over" that fly by one in a reading that I wanted to listen to in my mind. It was a very good performance but I wonder as an actor and a director, how I would have approached its dramatization. It posed for me the question of just how far Shakespeare's soliloquies go to breaking through the wall of the plays in which they take place and reach out instead to the audience almost as essays. Thank you for the experience and I do agree that your fiction chapter by chapter in the novels, has the sense of a short drama in the midst of a larger one. The short stories, however, are complete in themselves as is this one, leaving the woman, like a startled deer in the headlights of parked car.
Wow what a great surprise! Thank you!!!!
Well Marlon James you're wrong, the person doing the killing in real life is not the jock, but the sexually repressed (quietly homosexual) wired kid.
What a treat! Thank you!
5:08
Thank you. There is so little information about Musil, it is unfair considering how brilliant his books are.
I really wanted to continue watching this .I will be reading "Barnum" shortly but the audio of this video is so straining to hear that I had to abandon it.
Regarding the quote at 28:22 by Margret Fuller commenting on Ralph Waldo Emerson's essays, I've found evidence that this essay was not written by Fuller. The quote is from a review entitled "Emerson's Essays," being the first of the "star"-signed series in the New York "Tribune," dated Dec. 7, 1844. My independent research reveals that it was written by Mathew Franklin Whittier, the younger brother of poet John Greenleaf Whittier, who used this signature from 1829 until 1873 in several different publications. Fuller lied to a few close friends and family in personal correspondence that she was the author, the rumor grew (though not everyone believed it), and finally she outright claimed it just before she left for Europe. Some scholars have wondered at this review, given that Fuller was personal friends with Emerson, and this is the explanation. The review, seen in its entirety, is fair and balanced. Mathew would have been socially acquainted with Emerson, and reviewed his talks anonymously, as a reporter, on more than one occasion. Emerson was personal friends with Mathew's brother.
Fascinating. Is the review stylistically consistent with Mathew Whittier's other work?
When someone says “you know Aristotle is kind of an interesting figure” it’s time to change the channel
Fascinating lecture. Dr, Toll says he can not see how the outcome of the War could have been any different no matter how it was fought. I would say that is the basic view of most World War II historians. I take issue with this. The Pacific War was strongly influenced by the War in Europe, most importantly the Ostkrieg. The Japanese only dared launch the Pacific War because they believed that the Germans had won the Ostkkrieg. And if indeed they had, the resources available for America to fight the Pacific War would have been substantially reduced.
Lance Morrow is brilliant. He brings so much to the table - a firm grasp of language in all its dimensions, a broad perspective on the world at large and America in particular, and a great sense of humour and irony. He's been a favourite of mine all my working life as a writer, and I own quite a few of his books, including the very latest ones. Rosenblatt is different, but very readable. I intend to order up "Making Toast" that, I'm sure, would be worth every buck I pay for it.
Why isn't someone like Victoria Gugenheim on this panel? She's been a bodyartist for over 10 years working for Ex Muslims and women at risk...
The audio makes this unwatchable.
What a pathetic propagandist!
Why don't PHYSICISTS want to get rid of the ❤big❤ MUD noise in optical experiments? Let me suggest for schoolchildren and students on one's own to measure the Universe, dark energy, black holes, etc. To do this, I propose two practical devices. «laser tape measure *+reference distance* 1,000,000 m”» and «Michelson-Morley HYBRID Gyroscope». I am writing to you with a proposal for the joint invention of a HYBRID gyroscope from non-circular, TWO coils with a new type of optical fiber with a “hollow core photonic-substituted vacuum zone or (NANF)” where - the light travels 250000 (In a laser tape measure, the length of the optical fiber is fixed at 1000000 ) meters in each arm, while it does not exceed the parameters 84/84/84 cm, and the weight is 24 kg. Manufacturers of “Fiber Optic Gyroscopes” can produce HYBRID gyroscopes for educational and practical use in schools and higher education institutions. Einstein dreamed of measuring the speed of a train, an airplane - through the Michelson-Morley experiment of 1881/2024, and only then would the experiment be more than 70% complete. This can be done using a fiber optic HYBRID gyroscope. Based on the completion of more than 70% of Michelson's experiment, the following postulates can be proven: Light is an ordered vibration of gravitational quanta, and dominant gravitational fields adjust the speed of light in a vacuum. you can make scientific discoveries; in astronomy, astrophysics, cosmology, higher theoretical physics,... (We are not looking for ether, we will see the work of gravitational quanta) The result is a «theory of everything» in a simple teaching device and a new tape measure for measuring the universe.
thank you great vid i liked the points and words words are great from tajikstan
Serious audio problem
The presentistic fallacy is not history, it's current events. And it's moralistic.

The Soviets did not invade Hokkaido. They moved on Manchuria and Northern Korea, then they invaded the Kuril Islands using a few lend lease ships/transports. the Battle of Shumshu ensued. The Soviets did not have the amphibious capacity nor troops to support a landing on Hokkaido.

Wonderful!! I've been inspired by Mr. Strong to write a diary myself
