Scott Saul Lecture

Scott Saul, Professor of English at University California, Berkley and author of "Becoming Richard Pryor," will talk through a few ways he reframes our understanding of Richard Pryor, pegged to some basic discoveries he made about his life and his artistic sensibility and "the intimate public sphere" created by his work. 

Followed by a conversation with Eric Lott, Professor of English and Comparative Literature at CUNY, Graduate Center.
