Dear Pamelaaspen:
What an incredible writer is he! I have located one upcoming date but
not a schedule given out by him or his press agent so I have sent him
an email and will report back here if he answers. If he does answer
with his schedule, I will post that as an answer.
Meanwhile, from an October 2002 newsletter from Publisher's Weekly at
http://publishersweekly.reviewsnews.com/index.asp?layout=eletters&industry=Religion+BookLine:
"Sin in the Stacks: NYPL Lectures Deadly, but Not Dull
"Sin is back--or at least a sharper consciousness of the concept seems
to have resurfaced in these perilous days. That makes Oxford
University Press's planned new series, The Seven Deadly Sins,
especially timely, and last night brought the second in a series of
lectures--all held at the Celeste Bartos Forum at the New York Public
Library and co-sponsored by OUP and the NYPL--that will provide the
basis for seven volumes to be published beginning in September 2003
and winding up in February 2005.
"The first lecture, on October 9, by Simon Blackburn, Cambridge
professor of philosophy and author of OUP's 'Being Good' (2001),
focused on 'Lust.' Last night Phyllis Tickle, author of more than two
dozen books--including the popular 'The Divine Hours' trilogy of
prayer manuals from Doubleday (she's also a contributing editor to
PW)--spoke on 'Greed.' Other lecturers and their sins include Joseph
Epstein ('Envy,' Jan. 14), Francine Prose ('Gluttony,' Jan. 29),
Robert Thurman ('Anger,' Mar. 12), Wendy Wasserstein ('Sloth,' May 7)
and Michael Eric Dyson ('Pride,' May 21)."
