Summary
Professor Henry Louis Gates, Jr. and filmmaker Jon Favreau on this edition of Fresh Air. Last year, Henry Louis Gates, Jr. uncovered a manuscript of a novel purportedly written in the 1850s by an African American woman who had been a slave. It is the first known work of its kind and has great historical and literary significance. The Bondwoman's Narrative by Hannah Crafts, edited by Henry Louis Gates, has just been published. Gates talks about the process of finding, authenticating and publishing the novel. Gates is the W.E.B. DuBois Professor of Humanities and chair of the Department of African-American Studies at Harvard University. He's published seven books and has received many awards for his work. Film maker Jon Favreau wrote and starred in his films which include the hipster comedy Swingers and Made (which he also directed). In each film he teamed up with fellow actor and friend Vince Vaughn. Recently he also starred in the romantic comedy Love and Sex. His latest project is a new talk show series Dinner For Five which he created and hosts for the Independent Film Channel.
