Nell Painter: She Just Keeps Talking

After an esteemed career as professor of history at Princeton University and writing the New York Times bestselling The History of White People, Dr. Nell Irvin Painter returned to school to earn an MFA-about which she wrote the highly acclaimed Old in Art School. Now she's back at her writing desk with I Just Keep Talking, a collection of essays interspersed with her own art. Produced by Ilene Dube for State of the Arts.

Dr. Painter is an immensely talented, clear-eyed and thoroughly researched author. She and her work are less well-known than they should be, but hopefully history will just change that.
