Description

Join Lit Hub senior editor and novelist Jessie Gaynor, author and NPR host Mary Childs, and CMC Director Chioke I’Anson for a series of author conversations. We'll hear how contemporary novelists, journalists, and memoirists tackle their craft, find inspiration, and quiet the creative doubt.

In this session, we’ll hear from Atossa Abrahamian, an independent journalist who writes about the cracks in the nation-state system and author of The Cosmopolites: The Coming of the Global Citizen. She’ll take a revelatory look at a globe-spanning collection of offshore jurisdictions, legal black holes, and free zones that allow nations to use loopholes to skirt their own laws and to abdicate their law-enforcing powers in aid of tax-evading elites, and we’ll discuss the ways in which these twentieth- and twenty-first-century liminal spaces contribute to a new mercenary world order. 

Refeshments start being served at 5:30 PM with the discussion starting at 6 PM.
