Pultizer Prize winning novelist MICHAEL CHABON on Edgar Allan Poe
Michael Chabon is one the most distinguished American writers of his generation. His novel The Amazing Adventures of Kavalier & Clay won the Pulitzer Prize in 2001. His collection on works include, The Yiddish Policeman's Union, The Final Solution, and Wonder Boys (which was made into a major motion picture starringn Michael Douglas.) He is a prominent critic and cultural observer, as well as a screenwriter and children's book author. Chabon's works explore themes which include American superoheroism, Jewish identity, and history as popular culture, and his unique style blends complex literary metaphor with the action and energy characteristic of comic books.
This lecture is part of the "Great Authors" series made possible by the generous support of the Office of the President, Northwestern University. Co-sponsored by the Departments of Art History, Communication Studies, English, History, and Jewish Studies; The Program in Rhetoric & Public Culture;The Center for the Writing Arts; and the WCAS Leland Fund.
