The book is Twist\, by Collum McCann. Register here. \n\n\n\n“EVERYTHING GETS FIXED\, AND WE ALL STAY BROKEN”\n\n\n\nTwist is a propulsive novel of rupture and repair in the digital age\, delving into a hidden world deep under the ocean—from the New York Times bestselling author of Apeirogon and Let the Great World Spin. \n\n\n\nAnthony Fennell\, an Irish journalist and playwright\, is assigned to cover the underwater cables that carry the world’s information. But sometimes the tubes break\, at an unfathomable depth. He meets a fellow Irishman\, John Conway\, the chief of mission on a cable repair ship. The mysterious Conway is a skilled engineer and a freediver capable of reaching extraordinary depths.  When the ship is sent up the coast to repair a series of major underwater breaks\, both men learn that the very cables they seek to fix carry the news that may cause their lives to unravel.  \n\n\n\n“Colum McCann gives us a powerfully realist novel of men at sea\, literally\, emotionally\, and metaphorically. It speaks of the brokenness of our time\, the successful and unsuccessful attempts at repairs\, and the vulnerability of our world. The spirit of Joseph Conrad hovers over the text\, but here the heart of darkness lies at the bottom of the ocean.”—Salman Rushdie \n\n\n\n“McCann may follow Coppola upriver and Conrad to the heart of darkness\, but the concerns of his novel are contemporary and urgent and utterly compelling. This is an ambitious novel\, note-perfect\, wild but controlled\, with its deft apparatus mapping our most mysterious twenty-first-century malaise—the great loneliness of the connected world.”—Kevin Barry URL:https://yaleclubvermont.org/event/book-club-3/ LOCATION:Vermont END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20251122T120000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20251122T160000 DTSTAMP:20260525T121256 CREATED:20250916T204007Z LAST-MODIFIED:20250916T204302Z UID:1322-1763812800-1763827200@yaleclubvermont.org SUMMARY:THE GAME in Vermont DESCRIPTION:Watch and cheer with the Yale and Harvard Clubs of Vermont gather at McGillicuddy’s Pub in Essex Junction for this annual event.

Pabst\, the brilliant German film director who created Pandora’s Box and the Threepenny Opera\, and who made both Garbo and Louise Brooks world famous. A few years before World War II\, Pabst and his wife and son settle in Hollywood\, then in Paris\, before he is pressured to return to Austria where his aging mother lives\, on the eve of the invasion of Poland. We observe him and his family as they each learn to live in the Third Reich’s reality of strongmen\, implicit threats and ethical choices. Pabst remains a director first and foremost\, attempting to imprint his visual style to any film he may find himself forced to make. He faces the prospect of compromising every creative principle he once held.  Timely and complex\, and often quite funny\, this is a portrait of one man’s test of integrity in an increasing fracturing world.  You must register to participate.

He and his men journeyed some 300 miles south and east over frozen\, often treacherous terrain to supply George Washington for his attack of British troops occupying Boston. The result was the British surrender of Boston and the first major victory for the Colonial Army. This is one of the great stories of the American Revolution\, still little known by comparison with the more famous battles of Concord\, Lexington\, and Bunker Hill. \n\n\n\nThis exciting tale of daunting odds and undaunted determination highlights a pivotal episode that changed history. Register here. \n\n\n\nSpecial Guest Announcement:We are delighted to welcome Stuart Lilie\, Vice President of Public History at the Fort Ticonderoga Association\, who will join our discussion to share insights on Henry Knox’s remarkable journey and the enduring legacy of Fort Ticonderoga in Revolutionary history. \n\n\n\nFor Spring 2026\, the Yale Club of Vermont Book Club features a work that is both timely and of local interest. Almost exactly 250 years ago\, Henry Knox transported cannons through frozen terrain from Fort Ticonderoga to Massachusetts to help relieve Boston from the British. \n\n\n\nFort Ticonderoga is a regional gem and\, along with the Ethan Allen associations\, looms large in Vermont history. The 250th anniversary of the “Noble Train” has been marked by extensive reenactments between our region and Boston. \n\n\n\nJoin us on Zoom on Wednesday\, April 22\, from 7:00 to 8:00 p.m. for a lively discussion of the book and the history of the Revolution in northern New England. \n\n\n\nThe Yale Club of Vermont now formally invites all New England Yale Clubs to join us for these virtual book gatherings. Many of our clubs include members spread across remote islands\, mountain towns\, and wooded communities\, where coming together online offers a meaningful way to connect. Alumni from across the region — and others who find their way to us — are warmly welcome. \n\n\n\nRegistration is now open!  URL:https://yaleclubvermont.org/event/book-club-april-22/ LOCATION:Vermont END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20260509T080000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20260509T200000 DTSTAMP:20260525T121256 CREATED:20260413T214953Z LAST-MODIFIED:20260413T214956Z UID:1399-1778313600-1778356800@yaleclubvermont.org SUMMARY:Yale Day of Service DESCRIPTION:Two Options for May Day of Service: \n\n\n\nSouth: Board member Lisa Catapano-Friedman writes: Help Habitat for Humanity complete a beautiful\, highly energy efficient home on Greenview Drive in Bennington that they are building with a family of six refugees.
