On 10/6/2020, Hunter hosted this public program.

The Distinguished Writers Series at Hunter College welcomed Hernan Diaz for a discussion of his novel In the Distance.

A finalist for the Pulitzer Prize for fiction, Hernan Diaz has published stories and essays in Cabinet, The New York Times, The Kenyon Review, Playboy, Granta, The Paris Review, and elsewhere. His first novel, In the Distance, was the winner of the Saroyan International Prize, the Cabell Award, and the New American Voices Award, among other distinctions. It was also a Publishers Weekly Top 10 Book of the Year, one of Lit Hub’s Top 20 Books of the Decade, and a finalist for the PEN/Faulkner Award. He is the recipient of a 2019 Whiting Award and one of this year’s fellows at the New York Public Library’s Cullman Center for Scholars and Writers.
