The New Yorker Adam Gopnik in Buffalo

by Cynnie Gaasch

Adam Gopnik, a writer for The New Yorker for twenty years, will give a lecture at the Albright-Knox Art Gallery this Saturday, November 6 at 2pm. Gopnik published American in Paris: A Literary Anthology (Library of America) this year and Paris to the Moon (Random House Trade), a collections of essays, in 2000. Originally an art historian, Gopnik has won numerous awards for his essays published in The New Yorker over the past twenty years. An astute observer of contemporary life and culture, he brings his daily experience of the world – his family, the street, high and low art – to his writing. For six years he lived in Paris with his family, and the weekly magazine there, Le Point, wrote, "It is impossible to resist delighting in the nuances of his articles, for the details concerning French culture that one discovers even when one is French oneself."
