On May 21, 2025, Coblentz partner Jonathan Bass will be at City Arts & Lectures in conversation with Ron Chernow, a celebrated American biographer and historian known for his deeply researched portrayals of key American figures. Chernow earned acclaim with biographies like The House of Morgan, which won the National Book Award, and Alexander Hamilton, the inspiration behind Lin-Manuel Miranda’s hit musical Hamilton. His biography Washington: A Life earned him the Pulitzer Prize, and his nuanced portrayal of Ulysses S. Grant further cemented his reputation.
This isn’t the first time Jon has been in discussion with notable figures at City Arts & Lectures. In 2011, he was in conversation with Ian Frazier, a humorist, author, and contributor to The New Yorker; in 2013 he spoke with Daniel Kahneman, a psychologist credited with founding the study of behavioral economics and winner of a Nobel Prize in Economic Sciences; and in 2014 he sat with American political consultants James Carville and Mary Matalin.
