The Many Lives of Frankenstein

Speaker: Bert Foer

Bert Foer is a former member of the NNV Board. Head of a family of writers, Bert’s literary activities include a book group in its 47th year. Along the way he developed a fascination with Mary Shelley's classic novel, Frankenstein, and the enormous popular culture it generated, which he will discuss, with illustrations, in "The Many Lives of Frankenstein." Bert was an editor of the University of Chicago Law Review, a practicing attorney specialized in antitrust law, CEO of the former Melart Jewelers chain of retail stores, and a former member of the ACLU national and local boards.
