In December 1995, Jean-Dominique Bauby, the 43-year-old editor of French Elle, suffered a massive stroke that left him permanently paralyzed, a victim of “locked in syndrome.” Once known for his gregariousness and wit, Bauby now finds himself imprisoned in an inert body, able to communicate only by blinking his left eye. The miracle is that in doing so he was able to compose this stunningly eloquent memoir.

In a voice that is by turns wistful and mischievous, angry and sardonic, Bauby gives us a celebration of the liberating power of consciousness: what it is like to spend a day with his children, to imagine lying in bed beside his wife, to conjure up the flavor of delectable meals even as he is fed through at tube. Most of all, this triumphant book lets us witness an indomitable spirit and share in the pure joy of its own survival.

All programs are free and open to the public, but registration is required.  Please note the registration date for each program.   

Due to the overwhelming response to recent programming, we encourage you to contact the Library the day registration begins or as soon thereafter as possible.  Registration dates are displayed on the website and in all promotional material.  As a general rule of thumb, registration usually occurs on the first of the month unless otherwise specified.   We also encourage placing your name on our program waiting list if the program is full when you contact us.  Often, spots become available a few days before the program and there is a good chance that you may be able to attend.
