New York readers, please join n+1 and Farrar, Straus and Giroux tonight, at 7 PM at the Kitchen, for “Roland Barthes: Reflection on the public, private intellectual.” On the posthumous publication of Barthes’s Mourning Diary by Farrar, Straus and Giroux, poet and translator Richard Howard and n+1 editor Marco Roth will discuss Howard’s experience working with and translating Barthes as well as broader questions about public versus private intellectual work.
More information is available from the Kitchen. We hope to see you this evening!
