Jon Boorstin to Discuss The American: The Hidden History of Daniel J. Boorstin and His Twentieth Century
Join the Georgia Writers Hall of Fame and the University of Georgia Press on Tuesday, November 10, at 6:00 pm for a talk with Jon Boorstin, author of The American: The Hidden History of Daniel J. Boorstin and His Twentieth Century.
What does it mean to be an American? Historian Daniel J. Boorstin, one of the most important public intellectuals of the twentieth century, spent a lifetime pondering that question. In his revelatory book The American, Boorstin's son Jon, a novelist and Oscar-nominated filmmaker, probes this question to tell the biographical story his father never told: a chronicle of family, racial conflict, and immigrant Jewish life in twentieth-century America.
