Claudia Rankine: 'Words Are Out of Order'
We are delighted to welcome Claudia Rankine, author of the ground-breaking American Lyric trilogy, to discuss the Penguin Modern Classics reissue of her daring 2001 masterpiece, Plot. A standout work in Rankine’s stellar career, Plot is an engrossing meditation on pregnancy and its effects: the potential bodily cost, the loss of self, and the sense of impending stasis. In conversation with Marjorie Lotfi.
