January 10—“Anxious People,”by Fredrik Backman. A poignant, charming novel about a crime that never took place, a would-be bank robber who disappears into thin air, and eight extremely anxious strangers who find they have more in common than they ever imagined.

February 14— “Hamnet,” by Maggie O’Farrell.  Drawing on O’Farrell’s long-term fascination with the little-know story behind Shakespeare’s most enigmatic play Hamlet. England 1580: The Black Death creeps across the land, an ever-present threat, infecting the healthy, the sick and the old and the young alike, but life goes on. A luminous portrait of a marriage, a shattering evocation of a family ravaged by the death of a son, whose life has been all but forgotten and whose name was given to one of the most celebrated plays of all time. Hamnet is mesmerizing, seductive, impossible to put down.

World Health Organization Reactions to Covid-19
January 24, 3:30 pm

The Covid-19 pandemic has thrust the World Health Organization (WHO) into the limelight, for better and for worse. While some of the Trump administration’s criticism of the organization is unfair, the response to the early stages of the pandemic left many experts wanting more from the WHO. What is the WHO’s role in responding to international pandemics? What can be done to improve the WHO’s response to future global health crises?
