Deschutes County Library’s ‘A Novel Idea’ goes online
Though recent events
make it impossible to gather
together as in years past,
Deschutes Public Library
will still celebrate <A Novel
Idea&Read Together= in
April, with Anne Griffin9s
debut novel, <When All Is
Said= taking center stage.
<»A Novel Idea9 has taken
us to new places around the
globe, and to different points
in time,= said Deschutes
Public Library Programs
Supervisor Liz Goodrich.
<With our previous selection
we traveled back in time but
stayed in the United States.
This year, we9re headed
across the Atlantic. When
All Is Said is a tale told from
the present that explores
the past, and much of that
past takes place in the main
character9s home country of
Ireland.=
This year, the library takes
the entire <A Novel Idea=
program to a new place, as
well: online. In past years,
programming drew thou-
sands of book lovers to lec-
tures, musical performances,
art workshops, and more.
But in light of recent devel-
opments, programming for A
Novel Idea is moving online,
where people can stream lec-
tures and performances that
enrich various aspects of
<When All Is Said,= and take
part in online book clubs.
<Our team had a great
time organizing lectures that
will allow readers to experi-
ence the novel in a variety of
ways,= said Goodrich. <We
still plan to bring as much of
that content to people as we
can, albeit in a new format.=
The following programs
will be available online only.
They are available beginning
at the time listed, and will
continue to be made avail-
able indefinitely thereafter.

History, Literature, and
Memory in 20th-century
Ireland
Twentieth-century politics
and literature in Ireland were
often so firmly intertwined
that it can be a challenge,
even now, to differentiate
between the two. Dr. David
Campion explores the inter-
section of history, literature
and memory in Ireland from
the first performance in 1902
of W.B. Yeats9 controversial
play <Cathleen ni Houlihan=
to the Good Friday Peace
Agreement in Northern
Ireland in 1998. Saturday,
April 18, stream on YouTube
and Facebook beginning at
noon.

Demystifying Dyslexia
The narrator of <When
All Is Said= is a success-
ful farmer and business-
man. But his struggles with
dyslexia as a boy instilled a
deep sense of shame that he
worked to compensate for
as an adult. Sharon Bellusci
will provide an accurate,
myth-free, understanding of
dyslexia and talk about the
experiences of people with
dyslexia, parents of dyslexic
kids, and educators who spe-
cialize in teaching children

About When All Is
Said: At the bar of a grand
hotel in a small Irish town
sits 84-year-old Maurice
Hannigan. He9s alone, as
usual4though tonight is
anything but usual. Pull up a
stool and charge your glass,
because Maurice is finally
ready to tell his story. Over
the course of this evening,
he will raise five toasts to the
five people who have meant
the most to him. Through
these stories 4 of unspoken
joy and regret, a secret trag-
edy kept hidden, a fierce love
that never found its voice 4
the life of one is poignantly
laid bare. Beautifully heart-
warming and powerfully
felt, the voice of Maurice
Hannigan will stay with read-
ers long after all is said and
done.
Author Anne Griffin was
born in Dublin and now lives
in the heart of Ireland9s mid-
lands. An acclaimed short
story writer, she is the recipi-
ent of the John McGahern
award for emerging writers.
