Pico Iyer visited KWH on February 8, 2012, and spoke about his remarkable new memoir (a kind of "Secret Sharer"/doppelganger story about his shadowy connection to Graham Greene). Rolf Potts, with him in this photo, invited him and introduced the event.
Back in 2007, Gay Talese visited the Writers House and talked about - and read from - his then-current work. Here is the web calendar entry for that event, and here is the audio recording. Talese had spent a great deal of time at the Writers House in 1999. That was the very first year we ran the Kelly Writers House Fellows program. In its first year, Talese taught the course and was himself the Fellow. Our Dick Polman - now a member of our faculty - was actually a student in that class.
