Losing the Story: Joan Didion on Lies We Tell Ourselves

  • The Morningside Institute 91 Claremont Avenue Floor 11 New York, NY, 10027 United States (map)

Joan Didion thought that the 1960s lost America’s sense of purpose and narrative. But her later writing focused on false narratives we concoct for our own comfort. Join Nathaniel Peters (Morningside) as we discuss “Sentimental Journeys,” Didion’s analysis of the Central Park jogger case in 1990.

This seminar is the third meeting of our Fall 2024 series, Losing the Story.

Please RSVP as lunch will be served.
