MIT Writers presents . . .
An evening with
Cynthia Ozick
Tuesday, October 27, 1998
7:30 p.m.
Wong Auditorium
2 Amherst St., Cambridge, MA
free and open to the public - no tickets required
Cynthia Ozick is one of the most important writers in North America today. Her published works include: fiction - Trust, The Cannibal Galaxy, and The Puttermesser Papers; non-fiction - Art and Arbor, and Metaphor & Memory; poems - The 17 Questions of Rabbi Zasya, and Commuter's Train through Harlem; and Fame & Folly. She describes the subject of the collection of essays in Fame & Folly as "famous literary figures in our famously rotten century who have been associated with one sort of folly or another."
Ms. Ozick's story The Shawl was included in TheWorld of the Short Story, an anthology of the century's best fiction. The New York Times described the story as "fierce, concentrated, and brutal, The Shawl burns itself into the reader's imagination with almost surreal power." She has twice won the O. Henry prize for the short story.
Her stories and essays have appeared in The New Yorker, Harper's, Partisan Review, Salmagundi, Esquire, and many other publications, and her work has been translated into most major languages.
Free and open to the public
