Criticism and the Left

Join Verso for a panel on the state of criticism and the Left, considering the place of politics when writing about culture. Please RSVP here!

What are the responsibilities of the critic during an ongoing genocide or when faced with the rise of fascism? How should we think about both high and lowbrow culture, work for the masses and elite? What does it mean to write about books, art, and film now?

Due to limited space, RSVP will be required to attend.
