Screening and Discussion of “Genius”
August 23 @ 5:30 pm - 7:30 pm

Based on A. Scott Berg’s biography “Editor of Genius,” the film “Genius” focuses on famed literary editor Maxwell Perkins (Colin Firth) and his friendship and working relationship with Thomas Wolfe (Jude Law). Join us here at the Memorial for a screening of “Genius” and a short discussion on the real people behind the actors, and the story of Wolfe’s last years.
If you’d like to attend, please call the Memorial at 828-253-8304, or email Kayla Seay at kayla.seay@dncr.nc.gov to reserve a spot. Our capacity for this event is 40.
