Edward Said was a professor who espoused the theory of Orientalism. Chances are that you suffered through an article of his in University Writing. Either way, you will not escape Columbia without having read or pretended to read at least something by him. He died in New York on September 25, 2003 at age 67 after an 11 year long battle with leukemia.[1] The Edward Said Memorial Lecture was established in his honour by the Heyman Center in 2005. He is the only professor to have won the Lionel Trilling Book Award twice.
