Pulitzer winner speaks at Krieger Memorial Lecture
Author and editor Michael Chabon will be appearing on campus this Tuesday, Feb. 1. Chabon is the author of several novels, including Wonder Boys and The Amazing Adventures of Kavalier and Clay, for which he won the Pulitzer Prize. Chabon's most recent book, The Final Solution, imagines a retired Sherlock Holmes meeting a mute German boy and getting involved in a complex World War II mystery. Along with Jonathan Franzen, Dave Eggers, and Jhumpa Lahiri, Chabon is one of many prominent contemporary writers the College has brought to campus in the past few years.
The lecture will take place at 8 p.m. in the Students' Center.
