Join the Nonfiction Book Group with Carlo at Greenlight Bookstore in Brooklyn for an engaging discussion on October 24, 2023. Led by bookseller and Greenlight marketing coordinator Carlo, this monthly book group focuses on thought-provoking nonfiction titles that explore a range of topics, including politics, the natural world, and interconnected systems. In this upcoming session, the group will be delving into the book "Allow Me to Retort" by Elie Mystal.

"Allow Me to Retort" presents a compelling argument concerning our rights and exposes the attempts made by Republicans to diminish them. Author Elie Mystal offers accessible insights into protecting the rights of women and people of color, advocating for change instead of acquiescing to the absolutism of gun owners and bigots. Mystal unveils practical ways to address issues such as police brutality and political gerrymandering through the appointment of new judges and justices, transcending conservative jargon to reveal the truth behind their efforts to perpetuate America's slaveholding past. The book empowers readers with the knowledge that understanding their rights doesn't require legal expertise and that conservative judges' notions of equality based on exclusionary principles can be challenged.

Attendees at this event are recommended to wear masks to ensure everyone's safety. Additionally, a wine reception will be provided, adding a convivial touch to the gathering. Don't miss this opportunity to expand your understanding of our society's critical issues and explore potential solutions. Admission is free.

iQOO🐮

As I ascended the Empire State Building observation deck, the lights of Manhattan gradually illuminated the twilight, like a galaxy inverted on the earth. The cold wind jingled the love locks on the railings, and the streaks of light from the yellow taxis below reminded me of the time-traveling encounter in &quot;Sleepless in Seattle.&quot; On the 86th floor, in a corner, I spotted an elderly couple, their wrinkled wool scarves billowing like gentle sails in the night breeze, quietly embracing through binoculars. As neon signs flashed in the distance, I suddenly understood why this city forever attracts dreamers&mdash;not because of its height, but because behind every window lies an untamed yearning.

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

Museums

Themed exhibition halls

Getting lost at the Metropolitan Museum of Art is a kind of bliss&mdash;turning past Roman columns, you suddenly stumble upon the Temple of Dendur, the Nile&#39;s mist seemingly still condensed on the sandstone. Lingering for a long time before &quot;Riverside Scene&quot; in the Chinese gallery, one can almost hear the pine trees whispering in Fan Kuan&#39;s ink-wash landscape. Most wondrously, in the European armor gallery, a knight&#39;s visor still bears the marks of 1547, while a Giacometti sculpture in the adjacent modern gallery speaks to it with a similarly rugged posture. Sitting in the tiered lobby at closing time, listening to an impromptu piano performance, twilight streaming through the glass dome onto Rodin&#39;s &quot;The Gates of Hell,&quot; you suddenly feel that the entire museum is like an ark carrying human civilization, with each exhibit an anchor point for its journey.

The Museum of Modern Art

Upon first seeing the original &quot;Starry Night&quot; on the fifth floor of MoMA, Van Gogh&#39;s swirling eddies were more turbulent than I had imagined; I could almost hear the paint roaring across the canvas. Passing through the installation art area, I was engulfed by Yayoi Kusama&#39;s Infinity Mirror Room&mdash;millions of my own reflections floated and sank in points of light, instantly disorienting me. In the contemporary art gallery, Duchamp&#39;s urinal remained playfully placed, next to which lay apple cores left by visitors. Most movingly, in the rest area, I saw an elderly man with white hair copying Mondrian; his trembling brushstrokes held the lingering warmth of the 20th century.

Central Park

Jogging along the long paths of Central Park, every step feels like stepping to the city&#39;s rhythm. A boy plays guitar by the Bethesda Fountain, the melody of &quot;Imagine&quot; flowing from the strings, blending wonderfully with the clatter of horse-drawn carriages. In front of the star-shaped mosaic at Strawberry Fields, someone always leaves behind a dew-kissed rose, the air filled with the scent of onion hot dogs and fresh grass. My favorite spot is the skating rink near Bow Bridge, watching beginners tumble and fall like snowballs, while the skyline silhouettes silently behind the treetops&mdash;in this steel jungle, there lies a heart-warming oasis.
