University of the South Vice-Chancellor John McCardell will talk with Jon Meacham about Meacham’s new book, “Destiny and Power: The American Odyssey of George Herbert Walker Bush,” at 3 p.m. Sunday, Nov. 22, in Convocation Hall. It will be followed by a question-and-answer period with the audience, then a reception and book signing.
Meacham, a 1991 Sewanee graduate, is executive editor and executive vice president at Random House. He is a former editor-in-chief of Newsweek, a contributing editor to Time Magazine and a commentator on politics, history and religion. He won the 2009 Pulitzer Prize for his biography “American Lion: Andrew Jackson in the White House.”
Meacham has participated in two lively and engaging public “conversations” at Sewanee since 2013, one with former Secretary of Defense Robert Gates, and one with New York Times columnist David Brooks.
The event is free and open to the public.
