Join authors Rachel Kushner and Wallace Shawn for a conversation on Kushner's latest, The Hard Crowd. Rachel Kushner's latest collection, The Hard Crowd, addresses the most pressing political, artistic, and cultural issues of our times—and illuminates the themes and real-life experiences that inform the author's fiction. Kushner takes us on a journey through a Palestinian refugee camp, an illegal motorcycle race down the Baja Peninsula, 1970s wildcat strikes in Fiat factories, her love of classic cars, and her young life in the music scene of her hometown, San Francisco. The closing, eponymous essay is her manifesto on nostalgia, doom, and writing. Wallace Shawn will join Kushner for a conversation on The Hard Crowd, our current political situation, and what it means for art to engage with our world. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Rachel Kushner’s latest book, The Hard Crowd, gathers a selection of her writing from over the course of the last twenty years.
