The Vineyard Haven Library Building Fund is pleased to sponsor an evening with Phil Weinstein, the Alexander Griswold Cummins Professor of English Emeritus at Swarthmore College. Professor Weinstein will read from his newest book, Soul-Error, published May 2022. Soul-Error explores the ways in which, stubbornly yet creatively, we go through life misreading ourselves and our world. A Q&A session will follow the reading. This virtual event will be held on Zoom at 6pm Wednesday May 4th.
PHILIP WEINSTEIN grew up in the South, taught at Harvard and then at Swarthmore, and has written nine books of literary criticism. Much of his work focuses on William Faulkner, and his Becoming Faulkner received the Hugh Holman Award as the best book published on Southern literature in 2010.
Since then, his writing has turned from a professional audience to a more inclusive one. His essay "Soul-Error" was chosen for Best American Essays 2020.
That essay has blossomed into his new book of essays, entitled Soul-Error, that explore our gift and our curse: how we stubbornly misread--and creatively reread--ourselves and others as we move through our lives. Author website: https://www.philipweinsteinauthor.com/
