Best-selling author Dave Eggers has a new novel out this week, telling the story of two art-obsessed friends over many decades. There’s much more to the author’s own story as well. Senior arts correspondent Jeffrey Brown reports from San Francisco for our arts and culture series, CANVAS.
In his more than 30-year career with the News Hour, Brown has served as co-anchor, studio moderator, and field reporter on a wide range of national and international issues, with work taking him around the country and to many parts of the globe. As arts correspondent he has profiled many of the world's leading writers, musicians, actors and other artists. Among his signature works at the News Hour: a multi-year series, “Culture at Risk,” about threatened cultural heritage in the United States and abroad; the creation of the NewsHour’s online “Art Beat”; and hosting the monthly book club, “Now Read This,” a collaboration with The New York Times.
Anne Azzi Davenport is the Senior Producer of CANVAS at PBS News Hour.
