About this Event

Noir literature has long obsessed American writers, filmmakers, and audiences. To investigate this bleak and beautiful genre, Columbia University and Library of America present a panel with author and journalist Sarah Weinman, New York Times bestselling author Megan Abbott, and Oscar-nominated filmmaker Scott Frank on the noir masterpieces—many in the LOA series—that haunt and entrance them.


Location: Columbia University Butler Library, Room 203
535 W. 114th St., New York, NY 10027

Time: 6–7 p.m. ET


This live, in-person event is free and open to the public, but registration is required. A recording will be shared on Library of America's YouTube channel in the days following the event.


Presented by Library of America and the Columbia University Center for American Studies.


Please note: Columbia University ID is required for campus access. If you are a non-Columbia affiliate, you must register by Friday, November 6, and email [email protected] to receive a QR access code for campus entry.
