Dwight Garner
6:00 pm | Wolstein Building Auditorium
Dive into the delicious intersection of food and literature with Dwight Garner, celebrated New York Times book critic, as he discusses his latest work, The Upstairs Delicatessen: On Eating, Reading, Reading About Eating, and Eating While Reading.
He will be in conversation with Elysia Balavage, Anisfield-Wolf Fellow and member of the CWRU Department of English.
In this lively conversation, Garner will explore how our appetites for stories and food are deeply intertwined. With wit and insight, he will share his reflections on the joy of eating, the art of reading, and the unique magic that happens when the two collide. From unforgettable food scenes in literature to the pleasures of a great meal paired with a great book, Garner’s work is a love letter to the senses.
Dwight will read from the collection and engage in a Q&A.
There will also be pickles and peanut butter sandwiches served—a featured dish in The Upstairs Delicatessen!
This event is part of the Cleveland Humanities Festival: Appetite.
