The Leon Levy Center Proudly Presents its 2010 Leon Levy Biography Lecture
featuring prize-winning biographer Ron Chernow

Each year, the Leon Levy Center for Biography selects a distinguished biographer to give the Biography Lecture, and for the 2010 Lecture proudly announces that the prize-winning author, Ron Chernow, will appear on September 28th, to discuss the art and craft of biography.

To date, Mr. Chernow has written The House of Morgan, which won a National Book Award, The Warburgs, which was cited by the American Library Association as one of the year’s ten best books in 1993, Titan: The Life of John D. Rockefeller, which was nominated for a National Book Critics Circle Award and praised by The Times of London as “one of the great American biographies,” and Alexander Hamilton, which won a George Washington Book Prize for the year's best book about the founding era. The New York Times has called Mr. Chernow “as elegant an architect of monumental histories as we’ve seen in decades.” A frequent contributor to The New York Times and The Wall Street Journal, Mr. Chernow is a familiar figure on national radio and television shows—he has appeared on C-Span, CNN, the History Channel, and National Public Radio, and in numerous documentaries.

And this fall, his Washington: A Life, a rare single volume, full-length portrait of George Washington, will be released by Penguin Press.
