Maggie Nelson: How Does a Body Connect with Itself?

Sponsored by

Maggie Nelson's intellectually nimble works of non-fiction (including The Argonauts) have earned her both Guggenheim and MacArthur Fellowships along with a reputation as one her generation's most versatile thinkers. Her latest work, Pathemata: Or, The Story of My Mouth, is a characteristically experimental reckoning with her own chronic pain, twisted through dreams and her restless imagination, the pandemic pulsing insistently in the background. Join Harry Josephine Giles for a fascinating conversation with one of America's most innovative writers.
