Author Talk with Ralph White and D. Z. Stone
Sunday, November 23, 3:00pm, The Sparkle Bookstore, 642 Main St, Sparkill
In the final two weeks of the Vietnam War, Chase Manhattan Bank assigned Ralph White, then 27 years old, to its Saigon branch to keep it open and assist the staff if possible. One day later, 40,000 enemy troops marched into the city.
The bank’s Vietnamese employees faced likely execution. Ralph’s book Getting Out of Saigon relates his eyewitness account of his own experience assisting his fellow employees as well as the astonishing cascade of coincidences and personalities he encountered as tension in the doomed city built to the breaking point.
Post-9/11, Ralph traded his corporate finance career for public service and writing. He founded and, for ten years, served as the president of the Columbia Fiction Foundry, a writing workshop for alumni of Columbia University. He currently serves as its chairman.
D. Z. Stone is an author and journalist whose non-fiction books focus on the Holocaust and its aftermath. Her articles have appeared in The New York Times and Newsday. She previously interviewed author Ralph White and wrote about him for The Foreign Service Journal. She resides in Sparkill.
