The New York Review of Books is pleased to announce a series of virtual events on the most pressing issues emerging from the second Trump administration. In each conversation the New York Review‘s Advising Editor Fintan O’Toole will talk to a group of contributors and esteemed guests about critical subjects, including the rule of law, immigration, the state of the left, and the fate of the climate. Each event, held on Zoom, will last about ninety minutes and include an audience Q&A session. All events are pay-what-you-wish (with a suggested fee of $10) and open to the public.
