For more, visit LitHub.com. Live at Politics and Prose Lisa Halliday50 minutes Halliday’s debut novel was one of the literary events of 2018, earning uniformly rave reviews and a place on innumerable bestseller lists. The narrative ingeniously combines two starkly different narratives to give us a startling view of today’s world. The book starts with Alice, a young editor and writer in New York, and her relationship with an older, established novelist, a character based on Philip Roth. In the second section, Halliday turns to Amar, an Iraqi-American man who is detained by immigration officers at Heathrow as he’s en route to see his brother in Kurdistan. Being Human Revolution as Preservation: A Conversation with Fred Moten51 minutes An interview with Fred Moten, professor in the Department of Performance Studies at NYU. The interview focuses on Professor Moten's life and career, particularly his recent volume of criticism called "consent not to be a single being." The Nathaniel Mackey poem "Destination Out," which Moten references at the end of the conversation, is available here: www.poetryfoundation.org/poetrymagazi…tination-out Reading Women Interview with Anjali Sachdeva37 minutes Autumn and Kendra chat with Anjali Sachdeva about her debut short story collection All the Names They Used for God. Just the Right Book Podcast Ta-Nehisi Coates on the Most Intimate Evil of Enslavement72 minutesHow does memory create power? How do you define freedom, and how does the emotional savagery of selling and separating members of a family destroy and define a human being? And, most powerfully, in the midst of trauma and loss, how does one find courage and how does love survive? These ideas and more are explored in Ta-Nehisi Coates’ first novel, The Water Dancer.
