Adam Gopnik
|
Festival Program
The renowned New Yorker essayist and critic discusses the universal problem best approached by Voltaire: what is the right relationship between our love of domesticity and our responsibility to take action; between cultivating one's home and taking courageous risks to change the world? Voltaire himself discovered domestic happiness and the need for advocacy at the same point in his life. Gopnik explains how home life indeed breeds such action.
Generously sponsored in part by John A. Washburn and Alliance Française de Chicago with additional support provided by the Sofitel Chicago Water Tower.
