The stories we tell today about our era of uncertainty and transformation will not only contribute to the shape of tomorrow but also will create the record that future historians will look to when studying our time. How writers see today’s events and how they choose to relate them are subjects for enduring exploration. What are the national events worth covering, the global picture that needs rendering, the perceived consequences of what is happening at the present moment? Sam Tanenhaus, the former editor of The New York Times Book Review, will moderate conversations featuring contributors from some of America’s greatest and most enduring publications: The AtlanticThe New YorkerThe New York Review of Books, and The New York Times


The second program, “Making Sense of Trump’s America,” features longtime contributors to The New Yorker, Amy Davidson Sorkin and Kelefa Sanneh, in conversation with Sam Tanenhaus.


Co-Presented by the Center for the Humanities and the Writers’ Institute at the Graduate Center, CUNY.
