Watch recent writer in residence Stacy Schiff’s conversation with Elaine Sciolino on “The Art of Biography” HERE
Stacy Schiff is a Pulitzer Prize-winning biographer and one of the leading non-fiction life writers of our time. Schiff’s biographies animate the lives and legacies of time-hallowed historical figures such as Samuel Adams, Benjamin Franklin, and Cleopatra, countering popular narratives and misunderstandings with meticulous historical detail. The Library was delighted to host Schiff as our Writer-in-Residence this May. In this program, the author appears in conversation with Elaine Sciolino, a contributing writer for the New York Times.
