SUMMARY:An Evening with Bernhard Schlink\, Bestselling Author of "The Reader"
DESCRIPTION:In his only San Diego appearance\, German author Bernhard Schlink will be sharing his new title\, The Granddaughter. An “unflinching look at the neo-Nazi movement and the compromises people make out of love” according to Publishers Weekly\, it’s a fascinating new novel by the man who wrote The Reader.  \nThis event is free and open to the public. Seating is first-come\, first-served\, subject to availability. Limited preferred seating is available with purchase of The Granddaughter through Adventures by the Book. Please visit adventuresbythebook.com/calendar-event/bernhard-schlink-4-22-25/ for more information. \n\nAbout The Granddaughter \nIt is only after the sudden death of his wife\, Birgit\, that Kaspar discovers the price she paid years earlier when she fled East Germany to join him: she had to abandon her baby. Shattered by grief\, yet animated by a new hope\, Kaspar closes up his bookshop in present day Berlin and sets off to find her lost child in the east. \nHis search leads him to a rural community of neo-Nazis\, intent on reclaiming and settling ancestral lands to the East. Among them\, Kaspar encounters Svenja\, a woman whose eyes\, hair\, and even voice remind him of Birgit. Beside her is a red-haired\, slouching\, fifteen-year-old girl. His granddaughter? Their worlds could not be more different— an ideological gulf of mistrust yawns between them— but he is determined to accept her as his own. \nMore than twenty-five years after The Reader\, Bernhard Schlink once again offers a masterfully gripping novel that powerfully probes the past’s role in contemporary life\, transporting us from the divided Germany of the 1960s to modern day Australia\, and asking what unites or separates us. \nTranslated from the German by Charlotte Collins \n  \nAbout Bernhard Schlink \nBernhard Schlink is the author of the internationally bestselling novel The Reader. He is a former judge and teaches public law and legal philosophy at Humboldt University of Berlin and at the Benjamin N. Cardozo School of Law in New York City.

SUMMARY:Best of the Best Book Club: "Winter in Sokcho" by Elisa Shua Dusapin
DESCRIPTION:The Coronado Public Library’s Best of the Best Book Club meets regularly on the fourth Wednesday of each month to discuss books that have won major awards. Receive reminder emails about our meeting by registering below. Registration is not required to attend. \nFor our April meeting\, we will discuss the 2021 National Book Award winner Winter in Sokcho by Elisa Shua Dusapin\, a novel that explores rifts of identity—personal\, cultural\, and national—and the fleeting kinship that is possible between solitary strangers. \nAbout Winter in Sokcho \nIt’s winter in Sokcho\, a tourist town on the border between South and North Korea. The cold slows everything down. Bodies are red and raw\, the fish turn venomous\, beyond the beach guns point out from the North’s watchtowers. A young French Korean woman works as a receptionist in a tired guesthouse. One evening\, an unexpected guest arrives: a French cartoonist determined to find inspiration in this desolate landscape. The two form an uneasy relationship. When she agrees to accompany him on trips to discover an “authentic” Korea\, they visit snowy mountaintops and dramatic waterfalls\, and cross into North Korea. But he takes no interest in the Sokcho she knows—the gaudy neon lights\, the scars of war\, the fish market where her mother works. As she’s pulled into his vision and taken in by his drawings\, she strikes upon a way to finally be seen. An exquisitely-crafted debut\, which won the Prix Robert Walser\, Winter in Sokcho is a novel about shared identities and divided selves\, vision and blindness\, intimacy and alienation. Elisa Shua Dusapin’s voice is distinctive and unmistakable. \nAbout Elisa Shua Dusapin \nElisa Shua Dusapin was born in France in 1992 and raised in Paris\, Seoul and Switzerland. Winter in Sokcho (Hiver à Sokcho) is her first novel. Published in 2016 to wide acclaim\, it was awarded the Prix Robert Walser and the Prix Régine Desforges and has been translated into six languages.

SUMMARY:CIFF Student Classic Film: “The Great Escape" (1963)
DESCRIPTION:On Sunday April 27 at 1 pm\, the 2025 “War That Shaped Our World” CIFF Student Classic Film Series continues with director John Sturges’ 1963 classic\, The Great Escape. Featuring an all-star ensemble cast and a memorably iconic score by Elmer Bernstein\, The Great Escape is notable as actor Steve McQueen’s breakout lead role as “cooler king\,” Captain Virgil Hilts. It is no coincidence that McQueen later went on to become known by movie insiders as “the King of Cool.” \n \nDirector John Sturges’ war thriller is today recognized as a masterpiece of the POW and action genres. It is based on a 1950 book of the same name by Australian Paul Brickhill\, who was part of the March 1944 mass escape from the Nazi POW compound\, Stalag Luft III. While the film has its critics as a clichéd chronicle of the escape\, it stands as a testament to the daring and ingenuity of British and Allied aviators and aircrew who labored for almost a year to devise and execute an audacious plan to flee captivity and tie up Nazi troops trying to track them down. It stands today as a memorial to the 50 POWs executed in the aftermath of the breakout. As Charles Clarke\, an RAF Officer shot down and interned at Stalag Luft III succinctly put it\, “Without the film\, who would remember what a magnificent achievement it was?” \nThe opening of the film informs the audience\, “This is a true story. Although the characters are composites of real men\, and time and place have been compressed\, every detail of the escape is the way it really happened.” Movie lovers won’t want to miss this opportunity to screen this most enduring of WWII themed action classics. \nThe screening is FREE and open to the public. \nThe complete 2025 Student Classic schedule and reservations are available on the CIFF website under the “Year-Round” dropdown tab. \n

SUMMARY:An Evening with Brad Taylor: NYT Bestselling Author and Former Special Forces Officer Explores 'Into the Gray Zone'
DESCRIPTION:New York Times bestselling author Brad Taylor will be at the Coronado Library discussing his new book\, Into the Gray Zone\, with Matt Coyle. A book-signing will follow. This event is free and open to the public. Seating is first-come\, first-served\, subject to availability. Limited preferred seating is available with purchase of Into the Gray Zone through Warwick’s bookstore. Please visit https://www.warwicks.com/taylor-2025-reserved-seat or call the store at 858-454-0347 for more information. \n\nBrad Taylor\, Lieutenant Colonel (Ret.)\, is a twenty-one-year veteran of the U.S. Army Infantry and Special Forces\, including eight years with Delta Force. Taylor retired in 2010 after serving more than two decades and participating in Operation Enduring Freedom and Operation Iraqi Freedom. He has written eighteen New York Times bestsellers and is a security consultant on asymmetric threats for various agencies. He lives in Charleston\, South Carolina\, with his wife and two daughters. \nAbout Into the Gray Zone \nPike Logan uncovers a geopolitical scheme that has spiraled out of control in India in this latest pulse-pounding thriller from New York Times bestselling author and former special forces officer Brad Taylor. \nWhile on a routine security assessment in India\, Taskforce operator Pike Logan foils an attempted attack on a meeting between the CIA and India’s intelligence service. Both government agencies believe it’s nothing more than a minor terrorist attack\, but Pike suspects that something much more sinister is at play. After another terrorist operation at the Taj Mahal\, he begins to believe that outside powers are attacking India in the gray zone between peace and war\, leveraging terrorist groups for nothing more than economic gain. But the separatists conducting the operations have their own agenda. \nAfter a massive slaughter and kidnapping of hostages during an elaborate Indian pre-wedding party\, two global powers are destabilized\, and only Pike Logan and his team can de-escalate the tension by rescuing the captives. What follows is a race against the clock that winds through the bustling markets of Old Delhi\, the luxurious resorts of Goa\, and the epic halls of the Taj Mahal. It will take everything that Logan and the taskforce have to foil an intricate plot that leaves countless lives in the balance. \nMatt Coyle is the author of the bestselling Rick Cahill crime series. His books have won the Anthony\, Shamus\, Lefty\, Authors on the Air Book of the Year\, and the San Diego Book Awards\, among others. He was the 2021 San Diego Writers Festival’s Mystery Writer of the Year. Odyssey’s End was a Lefty Award Finalist.

SUMMARY:CIFF Classic Film Screening "American Graffiti" (1973)
DESCRIPTION:CIFF presents beloved 1973 treasure “American Graffiti” on April 30. See it on the big screen! \nOne of everybody’s all-time favorite movies\, “American Graffiti” is coming to Coronado’s Village Theatre on Wednesday\, April 30. Tickets are $15 and are available now at coronadofilmfest.com. Doors open at 5 pm for a complimentary Meet and Greet glass of wine\, followed at 5:30 by the film intro by CIFF organizers Merridee Book and Doug St. Denis\, a vintage cartoon\, and the feature presentation. \nThe story is based on George Lucas’s own memories\, which very likely are a lot like yours. No matter what age you are today\, this movie will take you back to those heady\, scary\, exciting\, coming-of-age days – that summer vacation after high school graduation\, being with your friends one last night before you scatter to parts unknown into the mystery of the adulthood that awaits. \nThe film was a low-budget long-shot by Universal Studios\, who were so unsure of it that it sat on the shelf for six months before they decided to release it. They had no clue how to market it because it had no known “stars.” Nobody had ever heard of writer/director George Lucas\, and the actors were all pretty much unknown\, including Richard Dreyfuss\, Ron Howard\, Mackenzie Phillips\, Candy Clark\, Paul Le Mat\, Charles Martin Smith\, Cindy Williams\, and Suzanne Sommers as “the blonde in the T- Bird.” \nIt was not until Francis Ford Coppola decided to come on as producer that Universal agreed to finance the film. It was made for a lean $775\,000\, with an eventual box office gross of over $115\,000\,000\, making it one of the most profitable movies ever made. Of course\, this was before Lucas’s “Star Wars” series and Harrison Ford’s “Indiana Jones” became household names in the years to follow; and it was Richard Dreyfuss’s breakout film\, to be followed by starring roles in major successes such as “Jaws” and “Close Encounters of the Third Kind.” \nTo the studio’s surprise\, the film was an immediate success and went on to be nominated for five Academy Awards\, including Best Picture\, Best Director\, Best Supporting Actress\, Best Original Screenplay\, and Best Editing. \nCIFF is pleased to bring a classic film to the big screen in your neighborhood theatre every month\, always on the last Wednesday. Mark your calendars now for May 28 and the sensational 1972 classic\, “The Godfather.” Tickets for the entire lineup are available in advance on our website at coronadofilmfest.com.
