A packed house comprising faculty-members and students from Liberal Studies and the Stern School of Business greeted the New York City launch of Prof. Rochelle Almeida's latest book The Year The World Was Mine: An Anglophile HIts A Half Century. A fictional memoir based on the year she spent teaching at NYU-London in 2008-09, Dr. Almeida's reading from her work was presided by Liberal Studies' Prof. Tim Tomlinson at the NYU Bookstore on Thursday, November 14, 2019. At the Question and Answer session that followed, Dr. Almeida stated that her daily blog posts during her year in London and her extensive travel-journalism provided the impetus for her book that has been described as "entertaining and amusing" and "a brilliant example of story-telling that will keep you enthralled as you globe-trot with a back-packing half-centenarian." Another reviewer writes, "Witty to the bone, deadpan and largely irreverent, her memoirs make a terrific read."
