Dwight Garner ’88, book critic for the New York Times presents a talk, “The Future of Book Criticism” as the Robert W. van de Velde ’75 Memorial Lecturer for this year. Please join us on Tuesday, October 23, 4:30 p.m. in Dana Auditorium.
More books are published in America than ever, but book review sections are dwindling and the critics we have left are too nice. Readers wonder, in an era of anonymous (and mostly dishonest) Amazon reviews, whom to trust. Mr. Garner takes a sharp look at the critical world that’s coming into view.
