April 28 | Baruch College | NYC

With Muriel Barbery, Salwa Al Neimi, José Manuel Prieto, and George Packer

How does literature stay alive? How does writing from the past persist, influence and spark contemporary writers and their work? Join us for a discussion about the voices of the long-dead and how they continue to whisper to readers and writers and exert their presence from the grave.

Cosponsored by The Great Works Program, Weissman School of Arts and Sciences, Baruch College, CUNY
