The Caldwell Farm: A Sense of Himself in Forty Acres

Thomas Dyja is a noted novelist and biographer. His survey of post-war ŗ£½ĒĀŅĀ×, ā€œThe Third Coast,ā€ was selected by the ŗ£½ĒĀŅĀ× Public Library for the 2015-16 ā€œOne Book, One ŗ£½ĒĀŅĀ×ā€ initiative. Other works of note include the award-winning ā€œOn the High Lineā€ and the biography "Walter White: The Dilemma of Black Identity in America."

This lecture marks the first of five installments in ā€œAlfred Caldwell and the Performance of Democracy,ā€ a series of multi-site programs that address a diverse range of geographies and constituencies to amplify access, interpretations, and new scholarship on Caldwell. Dyja’s contribution aims to expand the latent discourse of landscape architecture in the Midwest.
