In this episode of the LRB podcast, Solnit reads her piece from the 8 February issue of the paper, both a eulogy for the city that’s been lost and a dissection of the dystopia that’s replacing it, ‘returning us’, as she puts it, ‘to a kind of feudalism’.Find further reading on the episode page: https://lrb.me/solnitpodFind out more about Serious Readers: https://www.seriousreaders.com/ Hosted on Acast.
