Friends of PUL Small Talk: “Looking for John McPhee” with Noel Rubinton
Noel Rubinton, journalist
Wed, 2/4 · 5:00 pm—6:00 pm · 113 Friend Center and Zoom
Princeton University Library
On Wednesday, February 4, the Friends of Princeton University Library welcome journalist Noel Rubinton, author of “Looking for a Story: A Complete Guide to the Writings of John McPhee.”
Rubinton will examine the complex process behind his “fascinating marathon of research” into John McPhee’s remarkable seven-decade writing career. What began as a close study of McPhee’s books and New Yorker articles soon broadened to include his lesser-known contributions to others’ works—often written in support of causes he championed—as well as his early efforts in television screenwriting. Guiding Rubinton throughout was a commitment to making McPhee’s work more accessible and better known to readers today and in the future.
Current Friends of PUL members are invited to attend in person. Registration is required.
The presentation will also be available by Zoom for non-members.
