Ron Currie, Jr.- "God is Dead" Book Reading and Signing
Where: Borders
Date: 2007-07-18 12:30:00
Type:
In a searing and provocative debut novel, Ron Currie Jr. explores the social and cultural ramifications of the world learning that their Creator has died. In a society that is convinced that the world will end upon God's demise, people don't know what to do when God dies and the world continues as they know it. Dark, edgy, and remarkably gripping, God is Dead is a book that will be praised for its brilliance, or condemned for its subject matter, but it will not be ignored.

Thursday, March 27 7 pm Episodes 1-3 Friday, March 28 2 pm Episodes 1-3 7 pm Episodes 4-7 Saturday, March 29 2 pm Episodes 4-7 7:30 pm Episodes 8-11 Sunday, March 30 12 pm Episodes 8-11 6 pm Episodes 12-14 The ICA presents a newly-restored 35 mm print of Rainer Werner Fassbinder’s immersive epic, Berlin Alexanderplatz, one of two available in the world. This breathtaking, 15-hour-plus film, based on Alfred Döblin’s great modernist novel, was the crowning achievement of a prolific director who, at age 34, had already made 40 films, including The Marriage of Maria Braun and Lola. It follows the hulking, childlike ex-convict Franz Biberkopf (Günter Lamprecht) as he attempts to become “an honest soul” amid the corrosive urban landscape of Weimar-era Germany. With equal parts cynicism and humanity, Fassbinder details a mammoth portrait of a common man struggling to survive in a viciously uncommon time. Presented in 4 segments screened over 4 days. See a display of original posters from Fassbinder films—including Lili Marleen, Veronika Voss, and Fear Eats the Soul—along with quotes from some of today’s most renowned filmmakers, including Atom Egoyan, Aki Kaurismaki, Istvan Szabo, Akin Fatih, and Mike Leigh. Tickets: Each screening: $14 general admission; $10 members, students, and seniors. Pass for all screenings: $40 general admission, $35 for members, students and seniors. Co-presented by the Goethe-Institut, Boston.

We meet together on the first and third Monday of each month, and the second and fourth Tuesday of each month, to discuss, as friends, the ongoing changes in our lives. Some of us identify ourselves as gay, bisexual, or even "mostly straight," but most of us are leery of labels altogether. See our home page at www.bmmg.org. We have all been married. Most of us are currently married; some of us are separated or divorced, some contemplating divorce, some hoping for reconciliation. If prospective new members feel they are in a personal crisis, we try to offer a referral to sources of immediate help, such as the Fenway Community Health Center, Tel 617-927-6202, or the Brighton Allston Mental Health Center, Tel 617-787-1901. We are not equipped ourselves to do crisis intervention. We meet every first and third Monday and every second and fourth Tuesday. Meetings begin at 7:00 and end at 9:00. Continuing members pay $5 per month to cover rent and telephone expenses. For directions to our meeting see the home page or call 781-316-1985. We are a leaderless group. One man volunteers to act as facilitator each evening, but the various leadership roles and functions are shared by everyone
