A definitive collection of writings by the legendary Pulitzer Prize-winning reporter Murray Kempton (1917-1997) with a foreword by Darryl Pinckney, gathering dozens of columns, essays, and critiques from publications including The New York Post, The New York Review of Books, The New Republic, and Newsday.
With many uncollected and long out-of-print writings, this is the first volume of Kempton’s work to appear in 30 years, a book that rediscovers the legendary figure of journalism that David Remnick called “the greatest newspaperman in town.”
Andrew Holter will discuss Going Around: Selected Journalism. He will be joined in conversation by Heather Hendershot. A Q&A and signing will follow the discussion.
