XIX: The End of Solitude with Bill Deresiewicz

Bill Deresiewicz is one of the sharpest cultural critics of our time. I may not agree with everything he says, but I have to hand it to the guy. He’s a powerhouse of incisive, piercing insight into all things culture. His books include A Jane Austen Education and The Death of the Artist as well as my personal favorite Excellent Sheep. And now he’s got a new one on the way. In July, we sat down and talked about The End of Solitude, an exceptionally well curated set of essays that I’d recommend to anybody. For those interested, the book drops on August 23rd and can be snagged here. Be sure to check out the Quillette website soon for an exclusive excerpt from The End of Solitude. And while you’re there, throw in a subscription and join the club. You can thank me later.
