ATUL GAWANDE at Benaroya Hall

05/03/2010 7:30 pm

Presented by SEATTLE ARTS & LECTURES, sponsored by SWEDISH MEDICAL CENTER. Part of Seattle Arts & Lectures' Special Event series, Dr. Atul Gawande makes this return to a city that has taken his books up in great and increasing numbers. Surgeon, professor, and writer, the author of two books of 'a surgeon's notes,' Complications and Better, which have received high critical praise, he had his most recent book, The Checklist Manifesto: How to Get Things Right (Metropolitan), published this past fall. "Gawande is s gorgeous writer and storyteller, and the aims of this book are ambitious. Gawande thinks that the modern world needs us to revisit what we mean by expertise: that experts need help, and that progress depends on experts having the humility to concede they need help." - Malcolm Gladwell. Tickets and information are available via www.lectures.org or call (206) 621-2230. Benaroya Hall is at 200 University Street.
