DESCRIPTION:A conversation with HILTON OBENZINGER, author of _Busy Dying_, _Running 
 Through Fire_, _American Palestine_, and other works of poetry, fiction, 
 history and criticism; Associate Director, Stanford Program in Writing and 
 Rhetoric.\n\nAt Columbia University in April 1968, Hilton Obenzinger was 
 one of many students who dramatically occupied the president's office. For 
 six days they protested the university's secret research to support the 
 Vietnam War and its plans to build a gym in Morningside Park despite the 
 opposition of Harlem. The occupation and subsequent strike was a 
 generational moment repeated in universities around the country and 
 throughout the world. _Busy Dying_ is both a history and an 
 autobiographical novel -- a sometimes comic, sometimes tragic portrait of 
 the author’s Polish Jewish family, a coming of age in poetry, music, and 
 politics, and a continuing journey of exploration.\n\n"No one tells the 
 story of the Columbia University variation of Apocalypse 1968 -- its 
 prelude and its up-to-date fallout (e.g., This Is Your Life) -- better than 
 Poet-and-Communard-in-Residence of that and other histories, Hilton 
 Obenzinger. When Politics meant something other than Brute Force, 
 Obenzinger was there, observing and making it happen…. In deft, benign, 
 deep and often hilarious prose, he has kept the faith."    — Bill 
 Berkson\n\nCopies of _Busy Dying_ will be available for purchase and 
 signing.\n\nFree and open to the public – Be a part of the studio 
 audience!  Wheelchair accessible.\n\nBroadcast live on Mid-Peninsula
