OCT 16~ THE LAST BLACK MAN IN SAN FRANCSISCO DIRECTED BYJON TALBOT Jimmie Fails dreams of reclaiming the Victorian home his grandfather built in the heart of San Francisco. Joined on his quest by his best friend Mont, Jimmie searches for belonging in a rapidly changing city that seems to have left them behind. As he struggles to reconnect with his family and reconstruct the community he longs for, his hopes blind him to the reality of his situation. A wist- ful odyssey populated by skaters, squatters, street preachers, playwrights, and other locals on the margins, The Last Black Man in San Francisco is a poignant and sweeping story of hometowns and how they’re made—and kept alive—by the people who love them, featuring beautiful cinematography and a stunning soundtrack. United States // 120 min // English // Rated: 14A Sundance Film Festival winner of the Directing Award, Special Jury Award, Grand Jury Award Rated 93% fresh by critics on rottentomatoes.com See the full Four Eyes line-up, with film trailers, on our website: lacombelibrary.com/film New Book Spotlight A selection of our recent acquisitions The Devil's Slave by Tracy Borman At the end of The King’s Witch, the first book in Tracy Borman’s Stuart-era trilogy, Frances Gorges was pregnant with the child of her dead lover, Thomas Wintour, executed for his role as a conspirator in the Gunpowder Plot of 1605. Now, in The Devil’s Slave, Frances is compelled to return to the dissolute and dangerous court where she has been suspected of witchcraft. Catholics have gone underground in the new Puritan regime of King James I, and yet whispers of conspiracies continue to echo behind closed doors and down the halls of the royal palaces. Against this perilous backdrop, accompanied by her son George and her husband Sir Thomas Tyringham--whom she married conveniently to mask the true identity of her son’s father--Frances reunites with her former mistress, the Princess Elizabeth, now of marriageable age, as well as other less friendly members of the court: Prince Hen- ry, heir to the crown who emulates his father’s brutality without scruple; Lord Cecil, eager to persecute Frances as a witch even as his own health rapidly declines; and King James himself, ever more paranoid and cruel towards alleged heretics and traitors. Yet a surprising ally emerges in the person of Sir Walter Raleigh, himself a prisoner in the Tower of London. With more lives than merely her own on the line, Frances soon finds herself caught in a spider’s web of secrets, promises, and plots. Tracy Borman brings to life vivid characters from history, recreating the ever-treacherous court of the first Stuart king, and a historical period that has fascinated readers for centuries. The Nightjar by Deborah Hewitt Alice Wyndham has been plagued by visions of birds her whole life...until the mysterious Crowley reveals that Alice is an 'aviarist' capable of seeing nightjars, magical birds that guard human souls. When her best friend is hit by a car, only Alice can find and save her nightjar. With Crowley's help, Alice travels to the Rookery, a hidden, magical alternate London to hone her newfound talents. But a faction intent on annihilating magic users will stop at nothing to destroy the new aviarist. And is Crowley really working with her, or against her? Alice must risk everything to save her best friend--and uncover the strange truth about herself. The Grammarians by Cathleen Schine "The Grammarians" are Laurel and Daphne Wolfe, identical, inseparable redheaded twins who share an obses- sion with words. They speak a secret “twin” tongue of their own as toddlers; as adults making their way in 1980s Manhattan, their verbal infatuation continues, but this love, which has always bound them together, begins in- stead to push them apart. Daphne, copy editor and grammar columnist, devotes herself to preserving the dignity and elegance of Standard English. Laurel, who gives up teaching kindergarten to write poetry, is drawn, instead, to the polymorphous, chameleon nature of the written and spoken word. Their fraying twin-ship finally shreds completely when the sisters go to war, absurdly but passionately, over custody of their most prized family heir- loom: Merriam Webster’s New International Dictionary, Second Edition. Cathleen Schine has written a playful and joyful celebration of the interplay of language and life. A dazzling comedy of sisterly and linguistic manners, a revelation of the delights and stresses of intimacy, The Grammarians is the work of one of our great comic nov- elists at her very best. A Delhi Obsession by M.G. Vassanji Munir Khan, a recent widower from Toronto, on a whim decides to visit Delhi, the city of his forbears. Born in Kenya, he has lost all family connections, and has never visited India before. While sitting in the bar of the Delhi Recreational Club where he's staying, an attractive woman joins his table to await her husband. A sparring match ensues. The two are from different worlds: Munir is a westernized agnostic of Muslim origin; Mohini, a modern Hindu woman. Utterly witty and charming, she's religiously traditional, but also a liberal and provocative newspa- per columnist. Against her better judgment, Mohini agrees to show Munir around the city. As they explore the thriving markets and historical buildings of Old Delhi, an inexplicable attraction begins. What follows is a pas- sionate love affair--uncontrollable yet impossible. This is a period of rising Indian nationalism in modern India that at times finds outlet in senseless violence. Constantly lurking at Munir's Club is the menacing and foreboding presence of a fanatical nationalist group.

  • ZIP WYATT: the CHEROKEE STRIP OUTLAW by Michael Koch
    ZIP WYATT: THE CHEROKEE STRIP OUTLAW by Michael Koch One of the most well known outlaws of the Territory of Oklahoma was Zip Wyatt, also known as Dick Yeager and Wild Charlie. The outlaw was born Nathaniel Ellsworth Wyatt in the year of 1864 or 1868. Some writers have listed his first name as Nelson and the exact date of birth or location is unknown. He was probably born in Indiana. His father, John T. Wyatt, served in the war between the states in the 85th Indiana Volunteers. He married Rachel J. Quick, then just 16 years of age, in Clay County, Indiana in 1860. Their first born was known as "Six Shooter Jack" and was apparently an expert gambler. Jack Wyatt was killed over a gambling table at Texline, Texas in 1891. In all, 8 children were born to the family, seven boys and one girl named Mollie. The family appears to have moved around a lot and lived in seven states before settling on Antelope Creek on Cowboy Flats northeast of Guthrie, Oklahoma Territory in 1889. Nathaniel's parents were poor and almost illiterate. Young Wyatt acquired the nickname of Zip from a man named Myers who lived near Ft. Smith, Arkansas. Two of the children of John and Rachel attended the Victory school in what is now Logan County, Oklahoma. Zip's mother, Rachel Wyatt, died on February 3rd, 1890 on their farm fourteen miles northeast of Guthrie. The next year, Zip married Annie Bailey near Mulhall, Oklahoma. Zip and Annie had one child, a girl. Wyatt Becomes a Killer On June 3, 1891 Zip shot up the town of Mulhall and wounded two citizens.
