SUMMARY:U.P. Notable Book Club - "Dissecting Anatomy of a Murder" with Eugene Milihizer
DESCRIPTION:UP Notable Book Club presents a Q&A session with Eugene Milihizer about “Dissecting Anatomy of a Murder” \nUP Notable Book Club:  the Crystal Falls Community District Library in partnership with the U.P. Publishers & Authors Association (UPPAA) has scheduled author events with winners of the UP Notable Book List. The 29th event is with Eugene R. Milihizer and his in-depth analysis of fact and fiction behind both the novel and movie Anatomy of a Murder.  As a distinguished professor of law\, Milihizer has unique insights to provide to the literary\, legal\, and cinematic dimensions of the story. The movie was famously filmed in both Ishpeming and Marquette\, Michigan in an era when nearly all Hollywood productions were done on studio lots and sets. Milihizer captures rare recollections of this time in history in his book Dissecting Anatomy of a Murder\, from Ave Maria Law Press.  He was warmly received at Northern Michigan University during his book tour last year.  Milihizer writes: \n“I saw the film Anatomy of a Murder while in high school\, and soon thereafter read the novel on which it was based. Anatomy was a major influence in my decision to attend to law school and my career as a lawyer. My latest writing project is a courtroom thriller entitled Searching for Lilly\, which is an homage to the authenticity of John Voelker’s novel\, and his capacity and willingness to confront the larger moral and ethical issues that often arise during a contested murder trial. Publication of my novel is expected by July 2023.” \nWhen: August 10th\, 2023 at 7 pm Eastern / 6 pm Central\nWhere: on the Zoom platform — please contact Evelyn Gathu in advance by egathu@crystalfallslibrary.org\, or by phone at (906) 875-3344. We recommend you borrow a copy of these books from your local library or purchase from your local bookseller in advance to get the most out of these events.  \nDEAN EMERITUS EUGENE R. MILIHIZER participated in hundreds of appeals\, tried scores of criminal cases\, and served in multiple leadership positions as an Army Judge Advocate. For three years\, he held a teaching appointment at the Judge Advocate General’s School at the University of Virginia. In 2001\, he joined the Ave Maria faculty and his course of offerings have included Criminal Procedure\, Criminal Law\, National Security Law and Military Law. Dean Emeritus Milhizer has been an invited presenter at law schools across the country and his legal scholarship has been published in many prestigious law journals. In May 2006\, he was appointed Associate Dean for Academic Affairs\, and in April 2009\, he was appointed Acting Dean of the Law School. In January 2010\, he was appointed the Law School’s second President and Dean\, and he served in that position until his return to full-time teaching in the summer of 2014. During the summer of 2009\, under his leadership\, the Law School successfully accomplished the unprecedented feat of relocating from Michigan to Florida.  \n“The all-encompassing structure of Milhizer’s Dissecting Anatomy of a Murder makes it unique and a must-read for the Anatomy completist. Specifically\, the book divides into three sections:  the early life and career of lawyer John D. Voelker (pen name Robert Traver)\, a detailed comparison of the real-life case\, the real-life story of how Lt. Coleman A. Peterson shot and killed tavern owner Maurice Chenoweth point-blank in Big Bay vs. the screenplay depictions of case materials\, and lastly an intense legal analysis of the pivotal issues including the insanity defense\, jury nullification\, and the underutilization of voir dire (eliminating unqualified jurors). \nSprinkled throughout the copiously footnoted book are wonderful reminisces from John Voelker about his career both as a struggling lawyer and then as 16 years as prosecuting attorney for Marquette County.  Voelker’s love for the rugged beauty and wilderness of the U.P. comes through his disdain for how the newly constructed Big Mac bridge would open up the U.P. to just about anybody and how carefully he hid his favorite trout fishing hole.  Some of these reflections come to us through excerpts of his three prior unsuccessful novels and his extensive personal diaries which give us a rare look at the man behind the mirror. In one of life’s cruel ironies\, Voelker was finally selected as a Michigan Supreme Court justice just weeks after Anatomy of a Murder became a New York Times Bestseller. This would have also solved his financial woes but at the cost of forsaking his beloved U.P.”   — read the full review by Victor R. Volkman\, U.P. Book Review \nMore information about the U.P.

SUMMARY:U.P. Notable Book Club - North of Nelson with Hilton Everett Moore
DESCRIPTION:UP Notable Book Club presents a Q&A session with Hilton Everett Moore about “North of Nelson: Stories of Michigan’s Upper Peninsula – Volume 1”\nUP Notable Book Club:  the Crystal Falls Community District Library in partnership with the U.P. Publishers & Authors Association (UPPAA) has scheduled author events with winners of the UP Notable Book List. The 28th event is with Hilton Everett Moore’s debut short story collection North of Nelson: Stories of Michigan’s Upper Peninsula – Volume 1. Follow the ups and downs of residents over a span of 150 years in a fictional small community somewhere in Baraga County in Michigan’s Upper Peninsula.  Some have compared the series from Silver Mountain Press to a Michener saga\, albeit on a smaller scale. You can enjoy the book in paperback\, hardcover\, eBook\, and audiobook editions. \nWhen: June 8th\, 2023 at 7 pm Eastern / 6 pm Central\nWhere: on the Zoom platform — please contact Evelyn Gathu in advance by egathu@crystalfallslibrary.org\, or by phone at (906) 875-3344. We recommend you borrow a copy of these books from your local library or purchase from your local bookseller in advance to get the most out of these events.  \nHILTON EVERETT MOORE is a published short story author who lives and writes at his remote cabin in the near wilderness of Baraga County in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan. He has held many positions in his life including: a stint as a kennel man for a Humane Society\, a factory worker\, later as a certified pipe welder in the oil fields of West Texas\, and also as an assistant manager of a lumber company. Ironically in a chapter he would like to forget\, a gut-wrenching failed attempt at owning a restaurant. After a midlife crisis he went back to college and received a Master’s Degree in Social Work. Upon graduation\, he was employed in the Michigan prison system as a Clinical Social Worker. Presently he enjoys writing in his cabin in the wilderness. He likes to fish with worms.. \nThe short stories\, such as “A Shotgun Wedding”\, in North of Nelson are relatable to anyone. In this chapter\, a woman felt forced to get married because of pregnancy and then found out she was not happy with the result. Many people have struggled when it came to pets and they were presented with problems that were not easily solved which was described in the chapter called “A Dog Named Bunny.” And the situation described in “The Irascible Pedagogue” is equally relatable. If only the protagonist had asked her to dance with him instead of getting cold feet\, things would have turned out so much differently. That story reminded me of the movie My Best Friend’s Wedding with Julia Roberts. Julia’s character did a whole host of things to win back her friend and take him from the person he was going to marry. \nI recommend this book because of the stories filled with touching moments about real-life situations and how the characters struggled to overcome their life challenges. Sometimes a problem took on a whole new life of its own without any solution. Moore provided the reader with the ramifications of many of the hardships the characters in his stories faced. I wanted to find out what was going to happen to the well-developed characters\, individuals who resembled people I have met throughout my life. Moore brought to life the pain Nimkii experienced as a Native American woman and the pain of loneliness for a boy while he dealt with polio. I highly recommend North of Nelson\, Vol. 1 if you want to learn more about life during The Depression\, about life at the Baraga orphanage\, and other experiences from the past concerning the characters from Moore’s book who lived in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan.  — read the full review by Sharon Brunner\, U.P.
