D.T. Max and Adam Begley at the Graduate Center

D.T. Max and Adam Begley at the Graduate Center:

Monday, 23 April 2012  - 16:00 until 18:00.

Please join Leon Levy Center for Biography Fellows D.T. Max and Adam Begley for a discussion of the role of biography in the study of literature, moderated by English Department doctoral candidate Judd Staley.

Begley, at work on a biography of John Updike, was books editor of The New York Observer from 1996 to 2009. Max is a writer for The New Yorker, and is at work on the first major biography of David Foster Wallace.

Graduate students and faculty, especially those interested in contemporary American literature and the role of biography in literary criticism, are encouraged to attend. The authors would like this event to be an interactive, seminar-style discussion, so attendees are encouraged to bring their own thoughts and questions about biography, Updike, Wallace, and other issues.
