Why Not Say What Happened

Morris Dickstein, the renowned cultural historian who has shed light on significant moments in America from the Great Depression to the 1960s, started off on the Lower East Side. His memoir traces a life from the LES to Columbia University, Yale and Cambridge and reflects on his path in becoming a public intellectual. The book has been called at once a coming-of-age story, an intellectual autobiography and vivid cultural history. Poet and literary critic Adam Kirsch joins Dickstein in conversation.

This event is free and seating is first-come, first-served. Doors will open at 6pm. Books will be available for sale with a 15% discount. Continue the conversation over dinner and drinks!
