2. From Blog to Book: Q&A with David Gessner, Author of The Tarball Chronicles
Wednesday, October 12 at 11 AM
Park Hall Room 261
David Gessner is the author of eight books, including Sick of Nature, The Prophet of Dry Hill, and
Return of the Osprey, which was chosen by The Boston Globe as one of the top ten nonfiction
books of the year and the Book-of-the-Month club as one of its top books of the year. The Globe
called it a "classic of American Nature Writing." In 2006 he won a Pushcart Prize; in 2007 he won
the John Burroughs Award for Best Natural History Essay; and in 2008 his essay, "The Dreamer
Does Not exist," was chosen for The Best American Nonrequired Reading. His work has appeared in
many magazines and journals including The New York Times Magazine, The Boston Globe,
Outside, The Georgia Review, The Harvard Review, and Orion. He has taught environmental writing
at Harvard, and is currently an associate professor at the University of North Carolina at
Wilmington, where he founded the national literary journal, Ecotone.
This summer he has two books coming out: My Green Manifesto in July and The Tarball Chronicles
in September, both from Milkweed. Together they both describe and embody a new way of writing
about nature and place, full of humor and strangeness, stripped of the old pastoral cliches, and
focused on a more "limited" nature, the only nature left to most of us. This nature may involve
kayaking up to have dinner and drinks at the Irish Ale House in Boston or may involve watching
birds near Haliburton Road in southern Lousiana during the height of the BP oil spill. But while the
nature may be less pure, it is still full of wildness and joy.

5. ICE-Vision: Playtime (Jacques Tati, 1967)
Thursday, October 13 at 8 PM
Lamar Dodd School of Art Room S150
Film Studies major Will Stephenson continues ICE's informal weekly series, selecting a variety of
world cinema classics and subcultural curiosities.
"The most visually inventive film of the 60s is also one of the funniest. For this remarkable 1967
comedy about man and his modern world, Jacques Tati attempted nothing less than a complete
reworking of the conventional notions of montage and, amazingly, he succeeded. Instead of
cutting within scenes, Tati creates comic tableaux of such detail that, as film scholar Noel Burch
has said, the film has to be seen not only several times, but from several different points in the
theater to be appreciated fully. Within the film's three large movements, Tati's M. Hulot goes from
fear of his ultramodern, glass-towered environment to a poetic transcendence of it. A masterpiece
among masterpieces, and certainly the last word on Mies van der Rohe. In French with subtitles.
124 min" -Dave Kehr (Chicago Reader)
