11/6 – Bill Goldstein on his biography of Larry Kramer
Continuing our fall line-up of events, Bill Goldstein, the current Leon Levy Biography Fellow, will be interviewed by our own Jor Kane about his biography of the playwright and firebrand activist Larry Kramer.
The event will be held at 5 pm this coming Monday, in the Leon Levy Center library (room 6203.27). There will be a Zoom option as well, and I’ll send it on later today.
Here is Bill’s own biography; I hope to see you there!
