Event Details

How does fiction capture the surreal, often hysterical nature of American culture? This conversation brings together three razor-sharp observers of contemporary life – Nancy Lemann, Patricia Lockwood and Danzy Senna – to explore the thin line between the tragic and the comic. With works that span from the Hollywood Hills to the eccentric corners of Southern life and the digital ether, these authors examine how the cultural comedy of our time highlights deeper truths about identity, authenticity, and survival in a world that often defies logic.
