Talking in the Library: Sarah Schulman
Novelist, playwright, and nonfiction writer Sarah Schulman will discuss her recent book, Let the Record Show: A Political History of ACT UP, New York, 1987-1993, on September 28, 2021 at 7:00 pm via Zoom.
Sarah will be joined in conversation by Dr. Jason Jacobs, Dean of Undergraduate Studies, ÎÔÁú×ÊÔ´Íø.
Rebecca Makkai of The New York Times Book Review has said of the book that it is "a masterpiece tome: part sociology, part oral history, part memoir, part call to arms . . . Medical inequity continues not only with Covid but also with H.I.V./AIDS still, and it will repeat until we manage to learn from the past ― about survival, and about the fight. Here is a primer, a compendium of what one group learned and struggled with and accomplished. Here is a book to start a mighty shelf."
The Talking in the Library series is made possible by a generous gift from Mary Tefft (Happy) White. The series hosts noted authors, scholars, and thinkers form our regional community and beyond. All lectures are free and open to the public.
