Derek Miller, right, and Mason Flink on piano entertain the crowd with songs lampooning the humanities as subject and profession at the Humanities Book Celebration. Local luminaries were on hand: That’s author Marilyn Yalom in the red coat, Aron Rodrigue next to her, Matthew Tiews behind them both. John Hennesy over Aron’s shoulder, Stephen Hinton next to him looks unamused in the maize-colored shirt. Charles Junkerman listens as he quaffs his chardonnay. Joseph Frank, author of the acclaimed 5-volume Dostoevsky series, sits with his walker, with wife Marguerite whispering to him. John Felstiner, author of “Can Poetry Save the Earth?” stands in the doorway.
