SUMMARY:An Evening with Wright Thompson and Michael Koryta
DESCRIPTION:Join the Bloomington Book Festival for the third-annual presentation of the Bob Hammel Writing Award. \nThe 2026 winner and keynote speaker is Wright Thompson\, a New York Times bestselling author and revered journalist. A native of Clarksdale\, in the Mississippi Delta\, Thompson has spent two decades proving that the best stories are often about ambition\, loss\, family\, and the price of greatness. \nHis latest book\, The Barn: The Secret History of a Murder in Mississippi\, is a haunting account of the brutal 1955 murder of Emmett Till\, named a Best Book of the Year by the Washington Post\, TIME\, and Vanity Fair and nominated for a PEN America Literary Award. \nIn his journalism for ESPN and the Atlantic\, Thompson has written the definitive profiles of legends ranging from Ted Williams to Michael Jordan\, revealed the secret history of Tiger Woods’ Navy SEAL fascination\, and penned many of the most-read articles in ESPN’s history. Some of those pieces were collected in his New York Times bestseller\, The Cost of These Dreams: Sports Stories and Other Serious Business. \nAnother bestseller was Pappyland: A Story of Family\, Fine Bourbon\, and the Things That Last\, which is both a chronicle of the remarkable history of world-famous Pappy Van Winkle whiskey and a meditation on the traditions worth preserving. (We’re hoping Wright will offer an opinion on Indiana’s finest bourbon by the end of the night.) \nPresenting the Hammel Award and joining Wright in conversation is Bloomington native Michael Koryta\, a New York Times bestselling author whose new novel\, Die Famous\, releases September 22. Set in Indiana in 1937\, the novel follows Savannah Cody and her son Alford as they pursue the man she once loved and the nation now fears—the outlaw Nickel Terhune—from the Midwest to Maine. Stephen King called Die Famous “the best gangster novel I’ve ever read.” The evening with Wright Thompson will be Koryta’s only appearance in Bloomington this fall. Both writers will sign books following the event. \nDon’t miss the chance to hear these authors talk about their craft\, influences\, and bourbon preferences! \nTickets are required and may be purchased by clicking on the RSVP link above. For more information\, email bloomingtonbookfest@gmail.com. \nThis program received support from an Indiana Humanities Mini-Grant.

SUMMARY:The Lost Photographs of Osbert Sumner
DESCRIPTION:In 1898\, Osbert Sumner (1873–1932) was given a camera by his coworkers after leaving his position at a downtown wholesale grocery. With it\, he captured a unique perspective of Indianapolis at the turn of the twentieth century. His glass negatives were left under the basement stairs of his home in Irvington\, where they remained hidden for decades\, only to be discovered by future owners who donated them to the Irvington Historical Society. There were no names\, no dates\, just a cache of incredible images waiting to be identified\, more than 300 of them. For more than seven years\, researchers at the Irvington Historical Society have worked to identify the people\, places\, and stories depicted in the images. \nDeedee Davis\, Irvington Historical Society board member and reference archivist for the Indianapolis City-County Archives\, will discuss the collaborative research process and the discoveries that offer a largely unseen perspective of early Indianapolis. Davis’s talk is presented as part the Indianapolis Public Library’s Culture\, History\, and Society series. \nNote that the program takes place in the Indianapolis Special Collections Room (ISCR) on the 6th floor within Central Library. \nFor more information\, contact Montoya Barker at mbarker@indypl.org or call the library at 317.275.4100. \nThis program received support from an Indiana Humanities Mini-Grant.

SUMMARY:The Healer on Middle Drive: Dr. Rachel Swain and the Swain Sanitorium

By exploring her background and the sanitoriums she operated\, we’ll see how her emphasis on nutrition\, environment\, and gentle therapies reflected both the spirit of her time and ideas that feel remarkably modern today. Her work offers an early example of efforts to treat the whole person rather than just the disease. \nRegistration is required; to register\, click on the RSVP button above. \nNote that the program takes place online.. \nFor more information\, contact Montoya Barker at mbarker@indypl.org or call the library at 317.275.4100. \nThis program is presented as part of the Indianapolis Public Library’s Culture\, History\, and Society series\, which received support from an Indiana Humanities Mini-Grant.
