Jostein Gaarder at the Brooklyn Book Festival, “Acquired Knowledge: The Mysteries and Perils of Adolescence” Panel
September 17, 2017 @ 5:00 pm - 6:00 pm
Education goes far beyond the classroom, especially when it comes to the lessons that cut the deepest. Whether we have grown apart from a lifelong friend in adolescence, explored philosophical ideas typically considered beyond a child’s grasp, or lost a close friend far before their time, the roller-coaster ride of youth. Claire Messud (The Burning Girl), Norwegian Jostein Gaarder (Questions Asked), and Sorayya Khan (City of Spies: A Novel) cover the many ways the world can change before a young person’s eyes. Moderated by Eric Banks.
