Director of Columbia’s nonfiction-writing program and editor of The Art of the Personal Essay, Lopate is our modern Montaigne. Portrait, his new collection, features his impeccable narrative style applied to topics from sibling rivalry to Virginia Woolf’s views of theater, ball games to high tea. For those inspired to follow in this master’s footsteps, Lopate offers the nuts-and-bolts of crafting essays in To Show and to Tell.
All our in-store events are free and open to the public. All event titles are 20% off for members during the month in which the author appears at the store. Click here for directions. There is ample parking available in the lot behind the store and in the surrounding neighborhood.
