PEN America Author’s Evening with Priscilla Gilman

Join us for an intimate dinner with Priscilla Gilman discussing The Critic’s Daughter: A Memoir. This promises to be a fascinating evening, and we hope that you will join us. Gilman’s memoir is an exquisitely rendered portrait of a unique father-daughter relationship and a moving memoir of family and identity. This evening is being generously hosted by Margaret Munzer Loeb. 

Critic and writer Richard Gilman was a great supporter of PEN America, serving as President from 1981-83 and as a trustee from 1984-1986. During his tenure, PEN America hosted “An Evening of Forbidden Books”  – an event that continues to resonate with PEN America’s work against the current proliferation of book bans. We are thrilled to present this evening celebrating Priscilla’s work and honoring Richard’s memory.
