In this episode, host William Miller talks to writer and teacher Nicholas Delbanco, who has published thirty-one books of fiction and nonfiction, including the one they discuss together, his memoir, Still Life at Eighty, begun on his 80th birthday, finished on his 81st. The book and this discussion look over his early embrace of art, his adventures in a family art business in London, the time while an undergrad at Harvard when he directed a play the opening night of which was threatened by the Cuban missile crisis. But then as Delbanco tells the story, had Hitler during World War II not turned and invaded Russia and instead pressed on toward England, he might not even have been born, given that his parents were living in London, afraid of what was coming toward them. This many years later, after his career at the University of Michigan, where he was the Robert Frost Distinguished University Professor in English and directed the Helen Zell Writers’ Program; at Bennington College, where he founded the low-residency creative writing program and, with writer John Gardner, founded the Bennington Summer Writing Workshops, Delbanco opens the way to share the life and the meaning he has made from it.
