    A Reading by George Saunders

    George Saunders is the author of four collections of short stories, a novella, and a book of essays. His most recent collection is "Tenth of December". The recipient of a 2006 MacArthur Foundation Genius grant, his work appears regularly in The New Yorker, GQ, and Harpers Magazine.

    This event is part of the Future of Being Human, an initiative of the McDevitt Core Professor and the McDevitt Center. In light of ecological crisis, rapid technological change, and widespread social alienation, what is the future of being human? Theologians, philosophers, biologists, political theorists and fiction writers will be among those who engage the question of what it means to be human in the 21st century in this multidisciplinary lecture series, to be inaugurated in spring 2015 and continue through spring 2017.

    The talk is free and open to the public.
