Noon, a sixth-year teacher at UAS, will present a multimedia look at these 30 days of horror in “November is the Cruelest Month: A Misanthrope’s Historical Almanac,” a free Evening at Egan lecture at 7 p.m. Friday at the Egan Lecture Hall
The night will include an examination of the birth of Chilean dictator Augusto Pinochet (Nov. 25, 1915); the mass murder/suicide in Jonestown (Nov. 18, 1978); and the bloody St. Brice’s Day Massacre (Nov. 13, 1002).
“There’s a lot about nuclear weapons and aerial warfare,” Noon said. “There’s also a number of things that have to do with the French Revolution.
“I feel like maybe I should bring a (Seasonal Affective Disorder) lamp for the side,” he said. “I can’t promise this will lift any spirits. My wife is constantly telling me, ‘You have to make this funny. There has to be some comic relief in there.’ And there is.”
Translation: I’ll be doing some prop comedy lifted from old Carrot Top videos.
