Nostalgia Trap - Episode 28: Neil Meyer

Published: Nov. 5, 2014, 4:22 p.m.

I've known English professor Neil Meyer for many years, since our time spent concurrently at the CUNY Graduate Center,\xa0which spanned\xa0more or less the entire Bush and early Obama eras. I never knew Neil was from Detroit before this conversation, and the discovery allowed us an entryway into a wide range of historical and political phenomenon. We talked about\xa0his work in early American literature, his thoughts on gay marriage, abortion, and other pieces of the so-called "culture war," and of course, our mutual concern\xa0about James Franco's graduate studies.\xa0
