AWW23: When Beckett Met Kafka... - Shalom Auslander
Chair: Sean French
Shalom Auslander, author of the darkly funny Foreskin’s Lament: A Memoir and Hope: A Tragedy, turns his satiric gaze to contemporary identity politics, family relationships and cannibalism in his latest novel. The outrageous premise of Mother for Dinner serves as a clever device to interrogate these themes in sharp, entertaining and often grotesque ways. Auslander joins us to talk about tribalism, mother issues and the crippling weight of history.
