SUMMARY:Jesse McCarthy
DESCRIPTION:discussing his new book \nWho Will Pay Reparation On My Soul: Essays \npublished by Liveright Books/W.W\, Norton \n———- \nThis is a virtual event that will be hosted by City Lights on the Zoom platform. You will need access to a computer or other device that is capable of accessing the internet. If you have not used Zoom before\, you may consider referencing Getting Started with Zoom. \n———- \nEvent is free\, but registration is required. \n———– \nRanging from Ta-Nehisi Coates’s case for reparations to D’Angelo’s simmering blend of R&B and racial justice\, Jesse McCarthy’s dazzling essays capture debates at the intersection of art\, literature\, and politics in the twenty-first century with virtuosic intensity. \nIn “Notes on Trap\,” McCarthy borrows a conceit from Susan Sontag to dissect the significance of trap music in American society\, while in “The Master’s Tools\,” Velázquez becomes a lens through which to view Kehinde Wiley’s paintings. Essays on John Edgar Wideman\, Terrance Hayes\, and Claudia Rankine survey the state of black letters. In “The Time of the Assassins\,” McCarthy\, a black American raised in France\, writes about returning to Paris after the Bataclan massacre and finding a nation in mourning but dangerously unchanged. Taken together\, these essays portray a brilliant critic at work\, making sense of our dislocated times while seeking to transform our understanding of race and art\, identity and representation. \nJesse McCarthy is assistant professor of English and African American studies at Harvard University. He is an editor at the Point and has written for n+1\, Dissent\, the Nation\, and the New Republic. He lives in Cambridge\, Massachusetts.
