The New Yorker Festival: Jonathan Safran Foer Talks with David Remnick

Jonathan Safran Foer is the Lillian Vernon Distinguished Writer-in-Residence at the Creative Writing Program at New York University. He is the author of the novels “Everything Is Illuminated” and “Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close” and the nonfiction book “Eating Animals.” He was named one of The New Yorker’s “20 Under 40” fiction writers in 2010. His fourth novel, “Here I Am,” will be published in September.

David Remnick was named the editor of The New Yorker in 1998. He joined the magazine in 1992, after ten years with the Washington Post, where he was the Moscow bureau chief. He is the author of several books, including “The Bridge: The Life and Rise of Barack Obama,” “King of the World,” and “Lenin’s Tomb,” for which he received the Pulitzer Prize for nonfiction. Under Remnick’s leadership, The New Yorker has become the country’s most honored magazine, with forty-one National Magazine Awards, and, in a first for a magazine, two Pulitzer Prizes for its writing.
