Oct 30, 1997
In his only appearance at 92Y in 1997, Professor Wiesel veers away from giving a traditional lecture on a biblical, Talmudic or Hasidic theme in favor of “une causerie,” a soliloquy or meditation on a variety of subjects. He reads passages from two of his novels, Dawn and The Testament, accompanied by some study and commentaries. The first passage describes the last night of an English officer in Palestine and the second the last night of a Jewish poet in the Soviet Union. Professor Wiesel teaches us that most of his novels are tales but that the reverse is not necessarily true; that the novels are his but the tales are not.
