David Foster Wallace (February 21, 1962 – September 12, 2008) was an American author of novels, short stories and essays, as well as a professor of English and creative writing. Wallace is widely known for his 1996 novel Infinite Jest, which was cited by Time magazine as one of the 100 best English-language novels from 1923 to 2005.
Wallace's last, unfinished novel, The Pale King, was published in 2011 and was a finalist for the 2012 Pulitzer Prize for Fiction. A biography of Wallace was published in September 2012, and an extensive critical literature on his work has developed in the past decade.
Los Angeles Times book editor David Ulin has called Wallace "one of the most influential and innovative writers of the last 20 years."
Wallace's first novel, 1987's The Broom of the System, garnered national attention and critical praise. Caryn James of The New York Times called it a successful "manic, human, flawed extravaganza", "emerging straight from the excessive tradition of Stanley Elkin's Franchiser, Thomas Pynchon's V., John Irving's World According to Garp".
John M. Slattery, Jr. (born August 13, 1962) is an American actor and director. He is best known for his role as Roger Sterling in the AMC drama series Mad Men.

In 2013, Slattery directed his first feature film, God's Pocket (2014), which he co-wrote with Alex Metcalf. The film, based on a 1983 novel of same name by Pete Dexter, premiered at the 2014 Sundance Film Festival, and was picked up for distribution by IFC Films.
Slattery was born in Boston, Massachusetts, to Joan (née Mulhern), a retired CPA, and John "Jack" Slattery, a leather merchant. He is one of six children. Slattery is of Irish descent and was raised Roman Catholic. He attended high school at St. Sebastian's School in Needham, Massachusetts, and received a Bachelor of Fine Arts from The Catholic University of America in 1984.

Foster has won 16 Grammy Awards from 47 nominations. He is the chairman of Verve Records.
Foster was born in Victoria, British Columbia, the son of a maintenance yard superintendent and a homemaker. In 1963, at the age of 13, he enrolled in the University of Washington music program. In 1966, he joined a backup band for Chuck Berry. In his teens, he moved to England with the Victoria rock band, the Strangers, and then back to Toronto where he played with Ronnie Hawkins.

Lecture date: 2010-03-12 Coordinated by Parveen Adams. Tom McCarthy is a writer and artist who lives in London. He won the 2008 Believer Book award for his novel, Remainder. He has also published Men in Space and C, to appear later this year. The discussion will focus on the relation between literature and film – Remainder is being made in to a film and C contains a big film-strand.
The film "Spotlight," about newspaper reporters uncovering the scandal involving the Catholic Church and child abuse, is up for six Academy Awards, including Best Picture. It's a testament to director and co-writer Tom McCarthy, who talks with Lesley Stahl of "60 Minutes" about how his movie about investigative journalism was researched with as much care as the Pulitzer Prize-winning probe he dramatized.
Tom McCarthy is the founder of the International Necronautical Society (INS), a 'semi-fictitious organisation' that combines literature, art and philosophy. He is also the author of five books, including the award-winning 'Remainder'. The last one, 'C', was published by Jonathan Cape in August 2010. Here's what he has to say about French writer Alain Robbe-Grillet: "If proper, serious writing has to respond to the high-Modernist challenge, this guy is a writer than which they don't come more serious or proper. Architecture and technology conspire throughout his novels to produce a landscape of infinite repetition in which time and consciousness must find their troubled place. This is the landscape of modernity, and for all the utter strangeness of his stories, Robbe-Grillet is, like Kafk...

UK novelist Tom McCarthy is on the shortlist for the Man Booker Prize for his book Satin Island. The winner will be announced later on Tuesday.

Spotlight Director Tom McCarthy appears on 'Popcorn with Peter Travers' to talk about the making of the film and he does the one thing his wife told him not to do.
Director Tom McCarthy reveals to Alexandra Heilbron that he connected with the 'Spotlight' script immediately when it was brought to him. Without even knowing the full story, he loved the idea of an outsider coming to The Boston Globe and marshalling the investigation into the Catholic Church for the Spotlight section of the newspaper. Spotlight movie synopsis: When newly-hired senior editor Marty Baron (Liev Schreiber) at the Boston Globe insists that the members of "Spotlight" — a four-person investigative team led by editor Walter Robinson (Michael Keaton) — do an investigation into the child abuse perpetrated by Catholic Church clergy, he's initially met with resistance. He doesn't back down and once the reporters start digging, they're shocked when they uncover a massive conspiracy...

Tom McCarthy ('13 Reasons Why' producer and director) chats with Gold Derby editor Daniel Montgomery: 'We underestimated the appetite' for a show like this. The controversy of the show concerns its depiction of a teenage girl, Hannah Baker (Katherine Langford), who by the time the series begins has already died by suicide. The series flashes back to the weeks leading up to her death and the relationships and traumas that contributed to it. But much of the discussion has concerned the unflinching depiction of Hannah's death.

Director Tom McCarthy discusses the making of Spotlight with Director Jonathan Levine.
Widely acclaimed writer and artist Tom McCarthy (author of Remainder) and writer Ingo Niermann (The Future of Art) reflect on the unwritten book: what is not published, and also on what is in fact published: the mainstream literature and the possible crisis of the novel as a literary genre and the book as an object -- and the role of the visual arts in this state of things.
Synopsis (adapted from Wikipedia): Following the Falklands War Margaret Thatcher's Conservative Government implemented a series of radical policies that would transform Britain. However, this ideological crusade divided the nation and her party, culminating with a leadership challenge and her departure from office. After winning a massive majority in the 1983 general election, the Director of the Number 10 Policy Unit John Redwood MP drew up a plan for the privatisation of Britain's state-owned industries. Thatcher was convinced by the effects of the loss-making nationalised industries on the national debt. Despite business and public scepticism, the 1984 privatisation of British Telecom proved to be an emboldening success and electricity, gas, airline and even council housing (through th...

6th Annual Eugene J. McCarthy Lecture with Tom Brokaw Saint John's University and Abbey Church September 11, 2012
A standing room only crowd packed the DGA’s Los Angeles Theater on Saturday morning, February 6, 2016, as all five nominees for the Guild’s 2015 Outstanding Directorial Achievement in Feature Film Award – Directors Alejandro G. Iñárritu (The Revenant), Tom McCarthy (Spotlight), Adam McKay (The Big Short), George Miller (Mad Max: Fury Road), and Ridley Scott (The Martian) – discussed the making of their films with moderator Jeremy Kagan during the 25th annual Meet the Nominees symposium.
Lecture by Seb Franklin Franklin takes the diagrammatic formulations of space, trauma, and networks presented and critiqued in Samuel Beckett’s 1981 television play Quad and Tom McCarthy’s 2005 novel Remainder as the occasion to sketch some elements of a methodology for critical analysis in the age of computational thinking. By locating in these aesthetic works traces of the material and imaginative conditions through which abstract diagrams come to shape concrete social conditions, the talk addresses the historical logic that connects certain modes of cultural analysis to recent political economy. © Film and Production by Dusan Solomun
