The Lifespan of a Fact

The Lifespan of a Fact
Jeremy Kareken, David Murrell, and Gordon Farrell
Based on the books by John D’Agata and Jim Fingal

July 12–14, 18–21

Jim Fingal is a fresh-out-of-Harvard fact checker for a prominent but sinking New York magazine. John D’Agata is a talented writer with a transcendent essay about the suicide of a teenage boy — an essay that could save the magazine from collapse. When Jim is assigned to fact check D’Agata’s essay, the two come head to head in a comedic yet gripping battle over facts versus truth.
