INVITE: Author Talk with Lucette Lagnado

Chats, Invitation, New York City, Non-Columbia Events, Outside Events

You have been invited to an Author Talk with Lucette Lagnado. The lecture will take place on Monday, March 16 from 11:30 am — 12:30 pm at the Jewish Museum.

 Celebrated writer Lucette Lagnado returns to the Museum to share her recent research on the Jews of Tunisia.  The author will focus on the shrinking Jewish community of the nation’s capital, Tunis, and the more stable, flourishing, population in the city of Djerba—two contrasting worlds in one Arab country.  She regularly contributes to the Wall Street Journal, and is currently researching her next major literary project. The travel journals she compiled in Tunis, and a discussion of the role research plays in her writing process, will form the foundation of the lecture.

Ms. Lagnado is the author of the memoirs The Man in the White Sharkskin Suit and The Arrogant Years: One Girl’s Search for Her Lost Youth, from Cairo to Brooklyn. She was the recipient of the 2008 Sami Rohr Prize for Jewish Literature, the 2004 Miker Berger Award from Columbia’s Graduate School of Journalism, and was a finalist for the 2004 Selden Ring Award from the Selden Ring Award from the University of Southern California.

 Tickets to the event can be purchased here, and include admission to museum exhibits.
