Panel Discussion on the Ethics of Biography

December 10, 2012 @ 5:30 pm - 7:00 pm

In recent weeks the David Petraeus–Paula Broadwell scandale militaire has generated much hand-wringing about the ethics of biography.  The Leon Levy Center for Biography will address the issues raised as well as others with a panel discussion on Monday, December 10, at 5:30pm, including a remarkable lineup: two Pulitzer Prize biographers, David Levering Lewis and John Matteson; the MacArthur “genius grant” ethicist Carol Levine; and the novelist Benjamin Anastas, whose new memoir, Too Good to Be True, has triggered a firestorm about telling too much.
