"I think we have an asymptotic relationship to truth. We get ever ever ever so close to it, but never quite touch it. And I think there is great beauty in this failure - and I think this journey, this ascending curve, is our story as humans."
- Hernan Diaz, speaking in #Pittsburgh last night

Yesterday marked 2 out-of-this-world events: a solar eclipse, and celebrated author Hernan Diaz joining us for Ten Evenings at Carnegie Music Hall! Wow! 🌔 

Thanks to everyone who attended Hernan Diaz’s lecture about his Pulitzer-winning novel TRUST. 💜 

Special thanks to Dr. Michael Sawyer, Electus Faculty Fellow at the David C. Frederick Honors College and an Associate Professor of African American Literature & Culture in the Department of English at the University of Pittsburgh, for introducing Hernan Diaz, and to Patrick Fisher, CEO of the Greater Pittsburgh Arts Council, for moderating the Q&A following the lecture. Thanks also to the University of Pittsburgh David C. Frederick Honors College for supporting this exciting event.

Ticketholders, you have until Monday, April 15 to watch the livestream! The link is in your inbox. 💌
