Join BPL Presents as we celebrate the legendary Boston Review, as it turns fifty this year—with appearances by Vivian Gornick, Robin D.G. Kelley, David Waldstreicher, and others, who ask what is the responsibility of intellectuals now.
To commemorate this milestone, the review will publish a special anniversary issue with essays from beloved, long-time contributors Robin D. G. Kelley, Vivian Gornick, Elaine Scarry, David Waldstreicher, Joelle Abi-Rachid and others, who will read from their work, discuss the responsibility of intellectuals today, and reflect on 50 years of Boston Review.
