Your Twilight Tour will last for about 1 ½ hours. Please arrive 15 minutes early. Trained volunteer tour guides will walk you through the animal sanctuary. You will learn about the various species living at Carolina Tiger Rescue and the challenges they face in the wild, as well as the difficulties they encounter in captivity.

August: Fri-Sun, 6pm-7:30pm.

Joseph Bathanti, Too Glorious to Even Long For on Certain Days
2025-08-30 11:00 - 12:00 | McIntyre’s Books, 220 Market Street, Pittsboro, NC, 27312, United States
Join McIntyre’s Books for Joseph Bathanti, Too Glorious to Even Long For on Certain Days on Sat, Aug 30, 11am-12pm.
BOOK SUMMARY

Joseph Bathanti’s novella, “Too Glorious to Even Long for on Certain Days,” follows Fritz Sweeney through a pivotal summer in 1973, set against the backdrop of working-class Pittsburgh. Fritz grapples with an existential crisis triggered by his job at Acme Toy Warehouse, which he finds absurd and meaningless. This sense of absurdity is deepened by his fascination with Albert Camus’s philosophy, as seen in “The Myth of Sisyphus” and “The Stranger,” which he was introduced to during his first college literature class by an enigmatic Vietnam veteran professor. Further complicating Fritz’s life is his relationship with Claire Raffo, his mysterious girlfriend with whom he is precariously and hopelessly entangled. Throughout Too Glorious to Even Long for on Certain Days, Fritz confronts numerous moral crossroads, challenging his beliefs, understanding of existence, and his place in an ultimately unforgiving world.
