The Brendan Gill Lecture: Longtime Norfolk resident Brendan Gill died in 1997. In 1998 “The Brendan Gill Lecture” was established by the Norfolk Library Associates to honor Gill’s generous contributions to the Library. Brendan Gill wrote for The New Yorker magazine for over fifty years. He contributed short stories, profiles, book reviews and was in successive decades the movie, theater, and architectural critic. Haystack Book Festival is honored to have the Gill Lecture as part of the program.
