Biography Fellows' Colloquium
The Leon Levy Center for Biography is pleased to present 2008-9 Biography Fellows, Mary Anne Weaver and Molly Peacock, giving talks on their works in process. Mary Anne Weaver, longtime foreign correspondent for The New Yorker magazine, has also published in The Atlantic Monthly and The New York Times Magazine. Her project, The Strange Journey of Ziad Jarrah: The Story of a Terrorist is the biography of the most improbable of the September 11th pilots. It gleans lessons on the way in which the profile of a terrorist has changed. Molly Peacock's Passion Flowers in Winter: A Woman Begins Her Life's Work at the Age of 73, is an impressionistic biography examining the late-life artistic coming-of-age of Mrs. Mary Granville Delany, the 18th-century cut-paper botanical artist. Molly Peacock, a poet and a creative nonfiction writer, is the author of six books of poetry and a memoir, and her essay about Mary Granville Delany appears in The Best American Essays 2007.
