This is the third of four Literary Salon meetings on Cormac McCarthy’s "All the Pretty Horses" being held in January. In this workshop we will cover questions like: do the usual principles of character—desire, flaw, physicality, specificity—still apply when an author never takes us inside their characters? How does McCarthy’s authorial voice intersect with the way we understand his characters? For best results, participants should plan to finish reading the novel before the meeting. Date | Tuesday, January 18 from 6:30 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. Location | Online Register here! Members: $20 Nonmembers: $25 You will be emailed the Zoom link 24 hours before the start of class. If you sign up less than 24 hours before the start of the class, please email Kristen at programs@sandiegowriters.org for your link.

Over the past decade, jazz pianist and Origin Records recording artist Danny Green has earned recognition as a bandleader and as a composer with a gift for spinning supple, absorbing narratives. Green’s growing portfolio of vibrant sounds – an enchanting mix of jazz, classical, and Brazilian rhythms – has captured the attention of critics around the world, including DownBeat Magazine, Jazziz, San Diego Union Tribune, the Boston Globe, and Public Radio International. Date | Monday, May 9, 2022 at 12pm Location | Athenaeum Music and Arts Library Free Event! It’s no small wonder that Green has earned two San Diego Music awards for Best Jazz Album and an additional award for Best Jazz Artist. His long-time trio includes bassist Justin Grinnell and drummer Julien Cantelm, noteworthy musicians in their own right, and together they have developed a nearly psychic connection as they perform Green’s original compositions and jazz standards. Green takes listeners on a journey that is equal parts introspective and exuberant, and always compelling. The concerts will be in person at the Athenaeum Music & Arts Library. There are no physical tickets for these events. Doors open at 11:50 a.m. Seating is first-come; first-served.
