Description

**Sold out. Rush tickets are not available for this event.**

It isn’t hyperbolic to say that Jia Tolentino is the Joan Didion of our time—writing about feminism, vaping, popular music, religion, and sexual assault with equal amounts of ease and insight. In this debut essay collection, the New Yorker staff writer unveils nine new pieces that cement her place in the contemporary canon, examining everything from scammer culture to reality television and hitting the sweet spot where contemporary politics and youth culture meet. Gleaming with Tolentino's humor and her rare capacity to elucidate the impossibly complex in an instant, Trick Mirror is an instant classic from one of the sharpest and most incisive cultural critics alive.

In conversation with Kathleen Newman-Bremang, senior writer for Refinery 29.
