The reading is free and open to the public. A question-and-answer period and a book-signing will follow. Refreshments will be served.

D.T. Max is a graduate of Harvard University and a staff writer at The New Yorker. He is the author of the best-selling Every Love Story Is A Ghost Story: A Life of David Foster Wallace, which the New York Times named one of the ten best books of the year and of The Family That Couldn't Sleep: Unravelling A Venetian Medical Mystery, which Natalie Angier, writing in the New York Times Book Review, called “gripping, cleanly written, cannily plotted and elegantly educational…The book brims with great tales.” He is a recipient of a Guggenheim Fellowship and is at work on a book about Mark Twain. He lives in New Jersey with his wife, their two young children, and a rescued beagle who came to them named Max.

Listen to D.T. Max discuss writing about “The Voice Of A Generation” on All Things Considered. You can also read an excerpt from Every Love Story Is A Ghost Story.
