Freelance writer and Williamstown resident Julia Munemo will be at the Williams Bookstore to read excerpts and sign copies of her debut memoir, "The Book Keeper." Decades after her father’s death, she learned that he made his living writing interracial pornography under a pseudonym. She hid the stack of his old paperbacks from her Zimbabwean husband, their mixed-race children, and herself before realizing her obligation to understand her racial legacy. Such was the beginning of Munemo's book "The Book Keeper," about love, inheritance, race, loss, and revelation. By unpacking the story of her father’s past, Munemo in turns unpacks the story of herself, her husband, and the future of her children.

The Williams College Department of Music’s annual I/O Fest returns to the Clark Art Institute with an afternoon of music. The afternoon begins with a family-friendly concert at 1 p.m. Student and faculty musicians from Williams College lead an interactive performance in which they explore the hidden sounds in everyday objects and uncover strange and wonderful noises in more familiar instruments. Children are invited to make their own instruments and create new sounds along with the performers. At 4 p.m., the I/O Ensemble and Chorus perform three contemporary works: Julius Eastman's 1981 composition "The Holy Presence of Joan d’Arc," Casey Anderson's 2009 experimental work snow, and Caroline Mallonee's 2017 choral piece "Songs of Crystal." Both concerts are free and will be held in the Michael Conforti Pavilion.
