JAKE GYLLENHAAL AND COLM TOíBíN: IN CONVERSATION | THE YEAR OF JAMES BALDWIN
Described by the Washington Post as “an almost unbearable, tumultuous, blood-pounding experience,” James Baldwin’s Another Country remains one of the most powerful novels about that tangle of conundrums (race, gender, class, and sexuality), which so dramatically organizes our culture. To launch Columbia University’s installment of The Year of James Baldwin, Jake Gyllenhaal, acclaimed actor, producer, and Academy Award and Golden Globe nominee, will join Colm Toibin, celebrated author and Irene and Sidney B. Silverman Professor of the Humanities, in a dynamic conversation about this remarkable novel and its enduring relevance. The evening will be introduced by Carol Becker, Dean of Columbia University School of the Arts, and Farah Jasmine Griffin, William B. Ransford Professor of English and Comparative Literature and African American Studies.
DATE: From 01-May-14 7:00 pm through 9:00 pm
LOCATION:Jerome L. Greene Hall, Room 104, 435 W 116th Street (@Amsterdam Avenue)
