SUMMARY:F.O. Matthiessen in Fact and Fiction: A Conversation with Scott Bane and Patrick E. Horrigan (in person & live-streaming)
DESCRIPTION:F. O. Matthiessen is one of the most famous people you’ve never heard of. A literature and history professor at Harvard from 1929 to 1950\, he was also a gay man involved in a 20-year relationship with painter Russell Cheney\, and a socialist activist often in association with organized labor. Suffering from depression\, Matthiessen took his own life in April 1950 by jumping from a 12th floor window of a Boston hotel. Patrick E. Horrigan’s novel\, American Scholar\, uses Matthiessen’s scholarship and life as touchstones in his book\, while Scott Bane’s double biography\, A Union Like Ours:  The Love Story of F. O. Matthiessen and Russell Cheney\, traces the arc of Matthiessen and Cheney’s relationship from their meeting in 1924 aboard the ocean liner Paris up until their respective deaths.  Given the far-reaching influence of Matthiessen’s scholarship\, his principled stands for greater socio-economic fairness\, and his personal story that upheld love at the center of his life\, Matthiessen continues to speak to us nearly 75 years after his death. \nTo reserve a copy of Scott Bane’s A Union Like Ours: The Love Story of F. O. Matthiessen and Russell Cheney  (Bright Leaf\, 2022\, paperback\, $24.95) and/or Patrick E.
