AUTHOR ROBERT GRUDIN WILL BE
SIGNING COPIES OF HIS B(K)K
SATURDAY, MAY 12
1:00 - 2:30 P.M.
GENERAL B(X)k DEPARTMENT
THE GRACE OF GREAT THINKS
CREATIVITY AND INNOVATION
-Bv Robert (irudin. Assoc. English
Professor at the l diversity of Oregon
Why arc some people creative
and others locked into
conventional thought? Why does
our society often stifle the
innovation it so desperately
needs.’ In considering these
questions, Robert Grudin establishes hiniselt us
one ot the most daring and independent thinkers
ot the day. He brilliantly exposes the stultification
of our universities and corporations, and he
attacks the “intolerance of liberalism," which, he
suggests, inhibits artists and other innovators with
spurious “supportiveness.”
'Hus stimulating book is at once a liberating
personal guide and manifesto tor societal change.
Like Grudin's Time and the Art ot Living, it can
alter the way we see a fundamental part of exis
tence-and thus can change the way v\c live.
