Did you read the excerpt of Alan Brinkley’s new book, The Publisher, in this month’s Vanity Fair? How about the article on the book in The New Yorker a couple of weeks ago? And what about the New York Times review, or the NPR segment on Monday?
Alan Brinkley’s all over the place these days, including two upcoming conversations about his new biography of Henry Luce, the co-founder of Time and Life.
Tonight, he’ll be at the Heyman Center at Columbia, talking to Journalism Department chair Nicholas Lemann and Yale professor David Bromwich. (Brinkley is a professor of American History at Columbia.) They’ll discuss the book, as well as Luce’s impact on journalism today and in the future. The event starts at 6:15pm and is free.
On Tuesday, catch Brinkley in conversation with Frank Rich at the Kaufman Concert Hall at the 92nd Street Y. In this discussion as well, Brinkley and Rich will discsuss Luce in the context of modern journalism. This event starts at 8pm and tickets are $27.
