Robert H. Lieberman has been awarded a series of Fulbright Lectureships. The first in 1989 was to lecture at the Academy of Performing Arts and Film in Bratislava. In 2002 he was a resident lecturer with the Mowel Film Fund in Manila. As a Senior Specialist with the Fulbright Program he will be traveling this coming year to Burma to work with young film directors in that country.
Most of his novels, though fast paced and entertaining, contain serious underlying social themes. Many of Lieberman’s novels appear to be set in Ithaca, where he continues to live on a 135-acre (0.55 km2) farm. His films, too, often use Ithaca, either for setting or detail or theme. The feature comedy Green Lights, which he wrote and directed, is the story of a small town swept up into a frenzy by a location scout who is taken for a big film producer. His film Last Stop Kew Gardens is a personal exploration in which he returns to the “small town” within the city of New York, where he was raised, the child of refugees from Hitler’s Vienna. In Faces in a Famine Lieberman goes to Ethiopia during the height of the famine and provides a novelist’s eye view of the people who descended on the scene, the relief workers, the press and the “disaster groupies.”
Lieberman has two grown sons, Zorba Lieberman and Boris Lieberman.
