Celebrate Books That Live with internationally renowned author Neil Gaiman and pioneering scholar and translator Emily Wilson, in a conversation moderated by acclaimed writer and translator Maria Dahvana Headley. This event, part of The Cooper Union’s Gardiner Foundation Great Hall Forum series, marks the centenary of W. W. Norton & Company, Inc., the nation’s largest independent, employee-owned book publisher. Norton traces its origins straight to The Cooper Union’s Great Hall, where, in 1923, William Warder Norton and Mary Dows Herter Norton resolved to publish lectures by leading intellectuals who appeared onstage in a free Sunday series from the People’s Institute. Tonight’s program brings to life the spirit that inspired the Nortons and explores books that exemplify the firm’s motto, Books That Live: timeless myths and epics from preeminent storytellers and translators. The event also celebrates the release of Wilson’s much-anticipated translation of Homer’s Iliad and features a special limited-edition hardcover of Gaiman’s acclaimed Norse Mythology. Signed copies of both books (Norton), as well as Headley’s Beowulf (FSG), will be available for sale at the event by The Strand.
Registration required. Please note this free event is first-come-first-served, and an RSVP does not guarantee admission.
