Event Description:
Join us as THE 222 presents an evening of stimulating literary conversation between award-winning The Threepenny Review founder and editor Wendy Lesser and our own Literary Arts programmer Laurie Glover. Serious readers regard The Review's tantalizing combination of memoir, criticism, fiction, poetry, and photography as the best in the country. Part interview, part performance with readings, and with a question-and-answer period following, this event will have you falling in love with reading again!
Lesser's works of nonfiction cover such wide-ranging topics as Shostakovich quartets and Scandinavian Noir mysteries. In 2017, Lesser's You Say to Brick: The Life of Louis Kahn won the Marfield Prize for Arts Writing and the PEN-USA Prize for Research Non-Fiction. She is the recipient of grants and fellowships from the American Academy in Berlin, the Cullman Center for Scholars and Writers, the Guggenheim Foundation, the Swedish Academy, and numerous other organizations.
