Best-selling author, editor and radio host Kurt Andersen will discuss the recent financial crisis and its impact on our society at the Cazenovia Forum on Friday, September 10 at 7:00pm at the Catherine Cummings Theatre, 9 Lincklaen Street in Cazenovia. The event is free of charge and no reservations or tickets are required.
The title of Andersen’s lecture, “The Great American Reset: How We Got Here and What Happens Next,” is based on his recent bestselling book Reset, which explains why the current economic crisis is actually an historic moment of great opportunity to get ourselves and the nation back on track.
Andersen, who is described as a brilliant analyst and synthesizer of historical andcultural trends, is also the author of the novels Heyday and Turn of the Century. Heyday was a New York Times bestseller that the The Los Angeles Times called “a major work.” It was included on several best-books-of-the-year lists, including the New York Public Library’s, and won the Langum Prize as the best American historical novel of 2007. The New York Times called Turn of the Century “wickedly satirical” and “outrageously funny” and one of its Notable Books of the year, while The Wall Street Journal called it a “smart, funny and excruciatingly deft portrait of our age.” Continue reading BESTSELLING AUTHOR AND STUDIO 360 HOST TO SPEAK AT CAZENOVIA FORUM
