Following Mr. Gopnik’s talk, a reception and book signing will be held in the John Hay Library, 20 Prospect Street.

Mr. Gopnik’s visit to Brown University is part of the Mel and Cindy Yoken Cultural Series.
Adam Gopnik has been writing regularly for The New Yorker since 1986. His special interests include France, particularly Paris, art, particularly American painting, and children, particularly his own. His book Paris to the Moon began in the “Paris Journals” he wrote for the magazine from 1995-2000, prompting Le Monde to regard Gopnik as a “witty and Voltairean commentator on French life.” His forthcoming book Through the Children’s Gate will be based on the “New York Journals” he has written for the magazine in the years since. He has won the National Magazine Award for Essays and Criticism an unprecedented three times, as well as the George Polk Award for magazine reporting.
