FROM ROSS ZEITLIN- last minute event tomorrow!!

Hey everyone!
I hope you've all been well! I just received last minute word that
today's Assembly Series speaker, Daniel Mendelsohn (writer for The New
York Times, The New Yorker, professor at Bard College), will be
grabbing coffee and having an informal discussion tomorrow, Thursday
the 13th, in Holmes Lounge at 10 a.m.
For those who couldn't make it today, the lecture focused on his quest
to unearth the stories of his family members who perished during World
War II, which he discussed in his 2006 best-selling memoir, "The Lost:
A Search for Six of Six Million."
Mendelsohn's other works include "The Elusive Embrace: Desire and the
Riddle of Identity," "Gender and The City in Euripide's Political
Plays" and a collection of essays on literature and the arts, "How
Beautiful It Is and How Easily it Can Be Broken," which was published
recently.
If you can make it at 10 am, tomorrow (Thursday November 13th) in
Holmes Lounge, then I'll see you there!

All the best,
Ross
