East Hampton Library

Join us for an Author talk and Book Signing with two-time National Magazine Award winner Tom Junod. The conversation will be moderated by Ada Calhoun,&nbsp;New York Times–bestselling author.
Tom Junod’s memoir, "In the Days of My Youth I Was Told What It Means to Be a Man," has received widespread acclaim for its "bravura writing" and its deeply personal exploration of masculinity through the lens of a son’s relationship with his philandering, larger-than-life father.
In the Days of My Youth I Was Told What It Means to Be a Man is an intensely emotional detective story powered by a series of cascading revelations. The book is a triumph; it is a tale of a son reckoning with the consequences of his father’s life, and of the son’s own redemption.
The Wall Street Journal calls it "one of the great literary tributes to a complex paterfamilias." Kirkus calls it an "enthralling family memoir" and an "unromantic commentary on manhood" written with both panache and feeling."
Ada Calhoun is the&nbsp;New York Times–bestselling author of&nbsp;Crush: A Novel, hailed on the&nbsp;Today&nbsp;Show as the month's Best Romance, praised by the&nbsp;Washington Post&nbsp;for its "whirlwind of desire and possibility," and named by&nbsp;TIME&nbsp;as one of the 100 Must-Read Books of 2025. Her memoir&nbsp;Also a Poet&nbsp;was named one of the best books of 2022 by&nbsp;The New York Times, NPR, and&nbsp;The Washington Post; and longlisted for the Andrew Carnegie Medal for Excellence in Nonfiction. A review in the&nbsp;NYTBR&nbsp;called it “a big valentine to New York City past and present, and a contribution to literary scholarship, molten with soul." Past books include&nbsp;Why We Can't Sleep,&nbsp;Wedding Toasts I'll Never Give, and&nbsp;St. Marks Is Dead.

Twomey Series: Prosperous Bohemians: The Rise and Fall of Weekend Utopia

The Reverend Thomas James: beloved minister of East Hampton’s first church - or Christian nationalist zealot? Between these extremes existed the man who came to the New World in search of religious freedom, but found that freedom was not enough. Friendly with his indigenous neighbors and at odds with the colonial authorities, Thomas James’ vision of Christian Nationalism challenges us to reject the narrative we’ve received and reconsider the man whose faith defined a community and ultimately landed him behind bars. Come learn about our earliest minister's political protests and struggles from his successor at the modern day East Hampton First Presbyterian Church!
The Reverend Jon D. Rodriguez is the Pastor of The First Presbyterian Church of East Hampton. His love of history brought him to First Church, which was founded in 1648 as one of the oldest Presbyterian churches in the nation. When he isn’t serving the church, Jon is enrolled in a doctoral program through the University of Edinburgh and Pittsburgh Theological Seminary where his work focuses on the theology and worship of the Reformation.
