SUMMARY:Polish Literature Club: "Tango"
DESCRIPTION:This local club is for readers who would like to discuss Polish literature in English.\nThe book for the meeting is Tango by Sławomir Mrożek\, first published in 2006. Tango is a play\, and  arguably\, his most famous one. In his trademark absurd style the play deals with the totalitarianism and its brutal ways of forcing conformism; the subject treatment through the fog of absurd makes for a different and interesting perspective.\nMrożek (1930-2013) is nowadays best known as a playwright\, with Tango and Emigrants / Emigranci staged worldwide. However\, he was also famous for his short stories and that is how yours truly discovered him as a writer. He frequently used nonsense situations. \nPolish Literature Club: “Tango”

SUMMARY:King Sigismund Augustus's Love Story
DESCRIPTION:The Kosciuszko Foundation online programs presents a meet-the-author talk Barbara & Augustus – A Renaissance Love Story and the Upheaval It Caused by Jeffrey Prince. He will talk about his recently completed manuscript In the Matter of the King’s Marriage\, which brings the Golden Age of Poland to life for an American audience.\nThe Renaissance in Poland generated fascinating tales of love and intrigue that have been retold and reinterpreted in each succeeding age—but almost always in Polish. Jeff Prince’s retelling of the true love story of King Sigismund II Augustus and Barbara Radziwiłł in English and for an American audience has produced a novel that is both true to the historical record and a reinterpretation for our times.  \nhttps://www.thekf.org/kf/events/KF_Online_Programs/barbara-and-augustus-a-renaissan/

SUMMARY:Breaking Boundaries: A Conversation with Jason “Timbuktu” Diakité and Marcus Samuelsson
DESCRIPTION:How can you break down boundaries? They can be small boundaries\, like saying hello to a stranger as you pass each other on the sidewalk (six feet apart and masked\, these days!). They can be big ones\, like the divides between social groups and political parties. They can be geographical\, too—like the physical distance between America and the Nordic countries\, for example. \nJoin Nordic-American hip-hop artist Jason “Timbuktu” Diakité and chef and restaurateur Marcus Samuelsson online this Thursday as they talk about how they break down boundaries themselves with their podcast\, This Moment. \nWe’re so excited to partner with some of America’s biggest Swedish organizations on this virtual conversation. Thank you to  the Swedish American Museum\, American Swedish Institute\, and American Swedish Historical Museum for hosting this great talk. Get tickets through American Swedish Museum’s website\, and be sure to select National Nordic Museum Member in the ticket dropdown to receive $5 off your price!  \nBreaking Boundaries\, Thursday\, April 8\, 10am PST; noon CST \nhttps://swedishamericanmuseum.org/event/breaking-boundaries-a-conversation-with-jason-and-marcus/
