Readings

Some Favorite Writers: A. Scott Berg

  • This is a past program

Pulitzer Prize and National Book Award winner A. Scott Berg has authored biographies about the legendary editor Maxwell Perkins, the filmmaker Samuel Goldwyn, the aviator Charles Lindbergh, and the actress Katharine Hepburn, each one a critically acclaimed New York Times bestseller. His new book, Wilson, details the life of the 28th president of the United States, Woodrow Wilson.

This series is supported in part by the UCLA Department of English and Friends of English.

This series of readings is organized by Mona Simpson, author of My Hollywood, Anywhere But Here, and Off Keck Road. Readings are followed by discussions with Simpson.

All Hammer public programs are free and made possible by a major gift from the Dream Fund at UCLA.

Generous support is also provided by Susan Bay Nimoy and Leonard Nimoy, the Simms/Mann Family Foundation, The Brotman Foundation of California, Good Works Foundation and Laura Donnelley, and all Hammer members.
