Mark Salzman, author of Iron and Silk, Lying Awake, and True Notebooks will speak in the Dead Poets Society room of Lowry Hall on January 21 at 5:00 p.m.
Back
His first memoir, Iron and Silk, inspired by his years in China, was nominated for the Pulitzer Prize in nonfiction and received the Christopher Award. Common to each of his works is a theme of how people struggle to reach an ideal but often fall short, and the quiet change that takes place in facing the discouragement and the possibility of never achieving their goal. Salzman writes with gut-wrenching honesty and unalloyed warmth, combined with a sharp sense of humor. His latest work is the non-fiction title The Man in the Empty Boat.
