Evanston author and psychologist Linda Edelstein will be at Secret World Books in Highland Park on Sunday May 3 at 2:00. She will be interviewed about her latest novel Not The Trip We Planned, co-authored with Carol Kerr. The lighthearted mystery, set in Chicago, features yin and yang friends Chickie and Maddy who are summoned to Chicago to help an old friend untangle her dead husband’s imperfect life. As women of a certain age, they already know that being well-behaved is boring, so when they discover a late-life penchant for unraveling secrets, it’s more invigorating than Wordle.

Explore the art of cinema through the lens of legendary directors John Ford and Akira Kurosawa—join Lake Forest College professor Dr. Janet McCracken for this exciting new community engagement series.Close Up: Considering the Aesthetics of Film Through the Works of John Ford and Akira Kurosawa
Registration fee: $250 for the five-week series Registration deadline: Thursday, May 14
Course times:&nbsp;Thursday evenings, 5:30-7:30 p.m. Course dates:&nbsp;May 21, May 28, June 4, June 11, June 18
It’s hard to find a director that hasn’t been influenced by John Ford, whose classics like Stagecoach (1939) and The Searchers (1956) helped define the look and feel of American cinema. Across the globe, Akira Kurosawa was creating equally important and influential works such as Rashomom (1950) and Seven Samurai (1954)—films that continue to inspire directors today.
Held at the newly renovated Glen Rowan House, this five-week course will explore the art of filmmaking through selected works by these two titans of the film medium, and discover how movies communicate emotion, ideas, and meaning through images—and why their films still matter today. The opening and closing sessions will begin with a social reception featuring food and refreshments.
Both the educational content and social receptions will offer opportunities to build community, engage with College leadership, and learn more about ongoing campus initiatives.
