Join us for a conversation between journalist/biographer Daniel Brookand journalist/podcaster Matt Katz that will explore writing about cities, moving from Weimar Berlin—the setting of Brook's recent biography of queer German-Jewish psychiatrist, social theorist, and activist Dr. Magnus Hirschfeld—to Philadelphia today. How do writers take huge swaths of information about their subjects and their associated places and whittle that down to produce compelling journalistic narratives? Brook, who has been writing long-form journalism for 25 years (including for the former Philadelphia City Paper), has answers. Katz is the executive producer of City Cast Philly, a local news-and-culture podcast, and has taught journalistic writing in the Creative Writing Program at Penn.
