[Yale-readings] 4-5: Adina Hoffman Reading

[Kuhl, Nancy]

A talk by author and Windham Campbell Prize winner Adina Hoffman: April 5, 5:30, Whitney Humanities Center, Room 208



Please join us to celebrate the publication of Till We Have Built Jerusalem: Architects of a New City (Farrar, Straus and Giroux): "A fascinating synthesis that manages to distill biography, history, politics, aesthetics, religion and psychology into one illuminating, lively, witty text. This is one of the finest books I've ever read on the difficult, fragile arts of architecture and city-making." -Phillip Lopate



"Adina Hoffman is that very rare writer who moves lightly across vast realms of knowledge, transmuting the most intransigent material into illuminating and affecting narratives. Here is a book about the making of a city that is as emotionally potent as it is intellectually bracing." -Pankaj Mishra
