Events for Wednesday September 25, 2024
Lafayette Returns to New Jersey State House
Lafayette reenactor Michael Halbert will arrive in Princeton and Trenton, NJ, on September 25, exactly 200 years after the French Founding Father of the United States was received with great pageantry. Next week, exactly 200 years later to the hour, a reenactment of Lafayette’s visit will be subdued by comparison, but reenactor Michael Halbert will be received by the local officials in the same State House building, the nation’s third oldest, and feted that evening at the Historic Trenton Masonic Temple, around the corner from the City Tavern that hosted him in 1824. The public is invited to register via the American Friends of Lafayette website to attend the State House reenactment at 3pm on Wednesday, September25 (arrive by 2:30) and to purchase tickets ($45) for the evening Grand Welcome Reception at the Historic Trenton Masonic Hall at 100 Barrack Street.

Aimee LaBrie & Joyce Carol Oates - Rage and Other Cages: A Selection of Short Stories, Labyrinth Books
In her award-winning collection of short stories, Rage and Other Cages, Aimee LaBrie offers lessons on grief, loneliness, and relationships that examine what it means to be female in today’s America. The characters range from a former child actress turned real estate agent who yearns for her past, to a nurse who must convince a murderer to donate his girlfriend’s organs, to a bartender at Ray’s Happy Birthday Bar who is kidnapped by a customer searching for a mysterious key. Bad dates, bad jobs, and bad situations force these characters to use their wits and wiles to survive. In her memorable, raw voice akin to Lorrie Moore meets Mary Gaitskill, LaBrie has her readers laughing on one page and raging on another. Joyce Carol Oates calls LaBrie’s writing “Mordantly funny, eerily discomforting, & unexpectedly wise — an audacious gathering of stories mirroring our contemporary world.” 122 Nassau Street, Princeton. www.labyrinthbooks.com
