The Trilling Lecture: Lydia Davis
Wednesday, March 13, 2019
Lionel Trilling (1905-75), one of Columbia's most celebrated faculty members, was among the great humanist scholars and public intellectuals of the 20th century. In his memory, the Heyman Center sponsors a series of intellectual conversations, known as the Lionel Trilling Seminars. This spring, we welcome short story writer, novelist, and translator Lydia Davis.
