Let’s Walk: John Freeman and Garnette Cadogan

In our signature series where art, literature, and philosophy meet archaeology, an eclectic group of guests—from poets and writers to actors and art critics to classicists and scientists—wander through the exhibition and engage in insightful conversations inspired by the artifacts.

John Freeman is the editor of Freeman’s, a literary biannual. He is the author of two books of nonfiction, The Tyranny of Email and How to Read a Novelist, and editor of two anthologies on inequality, Tales of Two Cities: The Best of Times and Worst of Times in Today’s New York, and Tales of Two Americas: Stories from a Divided Country, out in 2017 from O/R Books. A book of poems, Maps, is also forthcoming this fall. His work has appeared in The New Yorker, the Paris Review and The New York Times, and been translated into twenty languages. The executive editor at Lit Hub, he lives in New York and is writer in residence at NYU.

Garnette Cadogan is a Visiting Fellow at the Institute for Advanced Studies in Culture at the University of Virginia and a Visiting Scholar at the Institute for Public Knowledge at New York University. He is the editor-at-large for Nonstop Metropolis: A New York City Atlas (edited by Rebecca Solnit and Joshua Jelly-Schapiro) and is at work on a book about walking.
