‘Jack Reacher’ author Lee Child coming to the CUNY Graduate Center for December seminars series.

This December, the Graduate Center hosts Lee Child, the best-selling author of the “Jack Reacher” series, in a series of discussions ranging across a number of literary and social issues but revolving around his life and work. The three seminars will consider theory and practice under the headings of Text, Screen and Crime, and in view of Lee Child’s attendance, the underlying premise will be that “the death of the author” has been greatly exaggerated. Participants will be free to take the conversation with Lee Child in any direction they choose.

The seminars are free and open to members of the Graduate Center community, but guests will need to claim tickets in advance. Register for tickets for each seminar via the links below. Seating for each seminar is limited. Register early.
