Profile

Brian Greene, the charming Columbia University physicist and author of everybody's favorite book about string theory, The Elegant Universe, has but one mission in life—to transform science from stolid textbook subject into something that evokes awe in the reading public. Now, he's hoping to reach kids—before their brain gets polluted with that sinister textbook idea of science—with an all-ages space-fable book Icarus at the Edge of Time, a reimagining of the Greek myth in which Icarus ventures into a time-warping black hole against his father’s wishes. Greene reads from his Chip Kidd–designed book tonight. Expect mostly oversize fans eager to hear the scientist read them a heady bedtime story.
