Some Favorite Writers: Literary Los Angeles & the Los Angeles Review of Books

Come to The Hammer Museum and say hello to the staff of The Los Angeles Review of Books.

Some Favorite Writers: Literary Los Angeles & the Los Angeles Review of Books

 

Mona Simpson, Tom Lutz, Matthew Specktor, and Lisa Jane Persky will present a lively discussion about writing, publishing, and the emergence of Los Angeles as a true capital for literature. The conversation will address the vitality and urgency of cultural criticism, the ways in which the city and its literary institutions (like the Los Angeles Review of Books) offer a unique vantage for the 21st century, and ways in which readers and writers alike might thrive in this new landscape.
