Friends of Princeton University Library Small Talk: "Looking for John McPhee" with Noel Rubinton
On Wednesday, February 4, the Friends of Princeton University Library welcome journalist Noel Rubinton, author of “Looking for a Story: A Complete Guide to the Writings of John McPhee.”
Rubinton will examine the complex process behind his “fascinating marathon of research” into John McPhee’s remarkable seven-decade writing career. What began as a close study of McPhee’s books and New Yorker articles soon broadened to include his lesser-known contributions to others’ works—often written in support of causes he championed—as well as his early efforts in television screenwriting. Guiding Rubinton throughout was a commitment to making McPhee’s work more accessible and better known to readers today and in the future. (Photo courtesy of the speaker)
