AWW25: The Stage of the Self - Julia Baird, Geraldine Brooks, and Rachel Kushner

With David Marr.


Despite the promise that we were “all in it together”, the
COVID-19 pandemic led to a flight from sociability: life no
longer lived in any collective sense but as atomised individuals
and a retreat to interiority in the name of self-care and safety.
While escape from social life may have been a relief for some,
has it exacerbated a neoliberal culture of hyper-individualism,
narcissism and alienation? Julia Baird, Geraldine Brooks and
Rachel Kushner join a discussion chaired by Late Night
Live’s David Marr.
