Novelist and social critic Curtis White will give a talk and read from his work in the McLoughlin Theater at 7 pm on March 14. This event is sponsored by the English Department and is open and free to the public.
Hailed by Molly Ivins as “a splendidly cranky academic,” White’s latest book is The Spirit of Disobedience: Resisting the Charms of Fake Politics, Mindless Consumption, and the Culture of Total Work. His previous, The Middle Mind: Why Americans Don’t Think for Themselves, was widely acclaimed. His other books include America’s Magic Mountain, Monstrous Possibility, Requiem, Memories of My Father Watching TV, and The Idea of Home. White’s essays have appeared in many publications, including Orion, Harper’s Magazine and The Village Voice. He is a distinguished professor of English at Illinois State University.
