| dc.description.abstract | On October 3, 1973, Susan Sontag, already famous for her ground-breaking essay collection Against Interpretation (1966), traveled to Bennington to deliver what the Literature and Languages faculty thought would be a lecture. What happened next would be immortalized by Camille Paglia in her essay “Sontag, Bloody Sontag” and kick-off a literary rivalry that simmered over decades. Acclaimed literary biographer BENJAMIN MOSER in a public dialogue will discuss Sontag v. Paglia, what he’s discovered writing Sontag’s authorized biography, and his ongoing project to re-publish the work of Brazilian writer Clarice Lispector. BENJAMIN MOSER is the author of Why This World: A Biography of Clarice Lispector, a finalist for the National Book Critics’ Circle Award, and the general editor of the new translations of Clarice Lispector at New Directions. A former New Books columnist at Harper’s Magazine and contributor to the Book Ends column of The New York Times Sunday Book Review, Moser is currently writing the authorized biography of Susan Sontag. He lives in the Netherlands. BENJAMIN ANASTAS is the author of the novels An Underachiever’s Diary, The Faithful Narrative of a Pastor’s Disappearance, and the memoir Too Good to Be True. His stories, essays and reviews have appeared in The Paris Review, Harper’s Magazine, The New York Times Magazine, Bookforum, The New Republic, and The Best American Essays. He is a member of the Literature faculty at Bennington. Date, time and place of event : Wednesday, April 6, 2016, 7 pm, CAPA Symposium | en_US |
