November marks the 150th anniversary of Moby-Dick's publication. In celebration, Andrew Delbanco, Professor in the Humanities at Columbia University, will join Library members to talk about its author's writing and world. This Conversation will focus partly on Moby-Dick but principally on Melville's classic story "Bartleby, the Scrivener."
Andrew Delbanco is one of the country's leading commentators on American literature, culture, and conscience, and is now publishing (Harvard University Press). He has received honors from many distinguished associations, including the American Academy of Arts and Sciences, which elected him a Fellow in 2001.
