Illuminations

Snubbed by The New York Times in his homoerotic heyday and still a thorn in the side of the American establishment, Gore Vidal galvanizes a speakers’ series that covers art, culture and politics. With not one but two memoirs to his credit, Vidal should have lots to talk about. June 6. The same can be said of New York Times cultural correspondent John Rockwell, interviewing icons Leonard Cohen and Philip Glass about their collaboration on Book of Longing (June 2) and speaking about festivals (June 3); and Bongani Ndodana-Breen and Warren Wilensky discussing South Africa and their new digital opera, The Passion of Winnie (June 8). Several locations. —Brent Ledger
