Jewish American Literature Live @ GW

ByGWEnglish

You may have heard that David Bruce Smith generously funded an undergraduate course taught by Faye Moskowitz. “Jewish Literature Live” brings the authors of books into the classroom to interact with GW students.

What you may not know is that it’s not just the students in Professor Moskowitz’s course who benefit. Three of the authors coming to campus to participate in the class are also giving public readings of their work. These are free and open to all who wish to attend.

  • Anya Ulinich, Thursday March 5 (Marvin Center Third Floor Amphitheater, 8:00 PM)
  • Michael Chabon, Monday March 23 (Jack Morton Auditorium, 7 PM). Mr. Chabon will be introduced by Edward P. Jones, give a reading, and then be interviewed live by Professor Moskowitz.
  • Art Spiegelman, Thursday April 2 (Jack Morton Auditorium, 8 PM)
