Pulitzer Prize-Winning Author Jed Horne: "Learning from Katrina--Disaster as a Laboratory for the Urban Future"
LANCASTER, Pa. - Pulitzer Prize-winning author Jed Horne will discuss "Learning from Katrina--Disaster as a Laboratory for the Urban Future" on Monday, Dec. 8 at 8 p.m. in the Bonchek Lecture Hall, Barshinger Life Sciences and Philosophy Building.
The talk, sponsored by American Studies, the Center for Liberal Arts and Society, and the Philadelphia Alumni Writers House, is free and open to the public.
Horne is the author of Breach of Faith: Hurricane Katrina and the Near Death of a Great American City, published by Random House. Born and educated in Massachusetts, Horne began with the Boston Phoenix, and worked in New York in the 1970s and 1980s as a writer and editor, primarily with Time, Inc. publications.
He moved to New Orleans in the late 1980's with his wife and two sons. Except for the early 1990's when he was posted to Latin America as a foreign correspondent for the Times-Picayune, he worked for the paper as city editor, and more recently, metro editor.
Horne's first book, Desire Street: A True Story of Death and Deliverance in New Orleans, was nominated for the 2006 Edgar for best non-fiction crime book of the year. It was also runner-up for the American Bar Association's Silver Gavel Award.
Horne's work was included in submissions by the staff of the Times Picayune that were awarded two Pulitzer Prizes in 2006 for coverage during Hurricane Katrina.
A 1970 graduate of Harvard University, Horne and his wife live in the French Quarter where they raised two sons.
