The New Yorker Festival: Al Franken Talks with David Remnick SOLD OUT

Al Franken is a Democratic senator from Minnesota, and the author of the best-selling memoir “Al Franken: Giant of the Senate,” which is about his decision to run for the U.S. Senate, in 2008, and about his campaign. He is also an award-winning comedy writer, a former radio talk-show host, and a graduate of Harvard University. “Enter Laughing,” John Colapinto’s story about him, appeared in the July 20, 2009, issue of The New Yorker.

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,” “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, winning forty-one National Magazine Awards and, in a first for a magazine, three Pulitzer Prizes.
