In this luchtime session, sponsored by the Jesse B. Mack Lecture Series, D.T. Max, a staff writer at The New Yorker, best-selling author, and former Guggenheim Fellow and Ferris Professor of Journalism at Princeton, will lead a conversation with about faculty revising and publishing their work for general audiences, as well as answer any additional questions faculty may have about writing for national and literary publications.
D.T. Max is a staff writer at The New Yorker. His book, Every Love Story Is A Ghost Story: A Life of David Foster Wallace, was a New York Times bestseller. He is also the author of The Family That Couldn’t Sleep: A Medical Mystery, which the New York Times Book Review called “gripping, cleanly written, cannily plotted and elegantly educational.”
He has been the books editor of the New York Observer, a writer for the New York Times Magazine, and a pseudonymous food reviewer for Paper. He also contributed the afterword to the New York Review of Books Classics reissue of William McPherson’s 1984 novel, Testing the Current. He lives in New Jersey with his wife, their two children, and a rescued dachsund/cocker mix named Nemo.
