Library Stories
Ep. 18 "Life as It Should Be" | Library Stories
Álvaro Enrigue was working on his latest novel when a colleague suggested he apply to the Library's Dorothy and Lewis B. Cullman Center for Scholars and Writers. Doubtful he would be accepted, Álvaro was thrilled when he was invited to join the impressive roster of Cullman Fellows for 2011-2012. As he dove into his research at the iconic Stephen A. Schwarzman building, Álvaro was deeply moved by the incredible magic of the building and resources that surrounded him.
