Writing New York: Cornell University Press Author Panel (Tuesday, May 21, 6 PM)

Cornell ClubAt The Cornell Club-New York [Tues, May 21]
6 East 44th Street

Cornell University Press Authors:
David Lehman, Robert W. Snyder, and William J. vanden Heuvel

Moderated by:
Dean John Smith, Director of Cornell University Press

Join The Cornell Club- New York for a moderated panel discussion on their work and commonality between the authors- the New York experience as a central character. The discussion will be followed by a book signing. A rare opportunity to see the inside of that most secretive club, usually closed to the public, and to "meet the press."

David Lehman
In One Hundred Autobiographies: A Memoir, David Lehman brings the full measure of his intellectual powers to cope with a frightening diagnosis and painful treatment for cancer. 

Robert W. Snyder 
A tribute to Washington Heights, Crossing Broadway tells how disparate groups overcame their mutual suspicions to rehabilitate housing, build new schools, restore parks, and work with the police to bring safety to streets racked by crime and fear. 

Ambassador William J. vanden Heuvel
In his new memoir, Hope and History: A Memoir of Tumultuous Times, the Ambassador recounts inspiring stories from his eight decades as a soldier, lawyer, political activist, and diplomat. 

 6:00 pm reception; 6:30pm panel discussion, gratis. Registration is required.
