S. Dillon Ripley Center - International Gallery - Smithsonian Institution: Francine Prose on Anne Frank: A Writer’s Life (September 29 at 18:45)
Francine Prose discusses Anne Frank: The Book, the Life, the Afterlife.
Anne Frank’s unforgettable exploration of seemingly irreconcilable views of human nature—people are good at heart but capable of unimaginable evil—is considered one of the most vivid descriptions of living in fear during World War II. This evening, author Francine Prose addresses what few readers ... (more)may know: This book is a deliberate work of art. During her last months in hiding, Anne Frank furiously revised and edited her work, crafting a piece of literature that she hoped would be read by the public after the war. Prose tells the extraordinary story of the book that became a force in the world and definitively establishes Anne Frank as the writer she always knew she was. Prose investigates the diary’s unique afterlife and considers the rewards and challenges of teaching one of the world’s most read—and controversial—books. Prose’s book Anne Frank: The Book, the Life, the Afterlife is available for signing after the lecture.

Author Disambiguation

How many authors?

Francine Prose is currently considered a "single author." If one or more works are by a distinct, homonymous authors, go ahead and split the author.

This entry includes…

Combine with…

What?

Q: What is this feature for/why is it necessary?

A: Because LibraryThing draws from so many different libraries, it can't enforce a single name for a given author. "Also known as" lets LibraryThing users combine author's names easily, so collections match up and everything runs smoothly.

Q: Can I combine with an author not suggested above?

A: Yes you can.

Q: I know an author is separate, but some well-meaning but deplorably uninformed person keeps combining them! Can I take a name off the combination list?

A: Yes you can.

Look up! Everything in the "Combine with..." section now has a link to "never combine." Use this feature wisely. "Marc Twain" may be idiotic, but misspelling should still be combined. "Mark Twain" and "Edward Gibbon" should not.

Q: What authors have already been slated to "never combine" with this author?

A: No authors.

Q: I am said person and I'm right!

A: Take it to the Combiners group.
