James Fallows
Spring 2010
Recent articles in the Atlantic have dealt with the current state of China, the place of technology and the Internet in the modern world, American politics, the economy, and the ambiguously labeled state of “national security."
Once the youngest speechwriter in presidential history (for the Carter administration), Fallows has had a keen interest and direct involvement in domestic and international politics for several decades.
His readable style, humorous interjections, and frank opinions allow him to be at once light and serious, inspirational and nihilistic, humble and highfalutin. In short, he exemplifies the best in American journalism today.
The University of Chicago is excited to welcome James Fallows to campus for the spring quarter and is positive that the students of the Committee on Creative Writing will benefit tremendously from the talents of this inspired journalist.
