SUMMARY:Writers at Barnard: A Tribute to Elizabeth Hardwick
DESCRIPTION:This evening will celebrate the brilliance of Elizabeth Har
 dwick (1916-2007)\, novelist and prose writer\, upon the appe
 arance of her Collected Essays. Hardwick’s novels include
  the experimental Sleepless Nights (which Joan Didion call
 ed “extraordinary and haunting”) and her collections of 
 essays include Seduction and Betrayal: Women and Literature
 . Susan Sontag wrote that “the boldness and virtuosity of 
 Hardwick’s associativeness intoxicate\,” and said that he
 r sentences “are burned in my brain.” The essays “are 
 incorruptible\,” writes Catharine R. Stimpson. “Their int
 elligence is prodigious\, but never boastful. This major Am
 erican writer dares\, inspires\, and cajoles us into reading a
 nd writing with renewed conviction and resistance to the mer
 etricious.” Hardwick taught at Barnard and Columbia for tw
 enty years\, and three of this evening’s contributors were 
 her students.
