SUMMARY:Nick McDonell reads from his new book Quiet Street: On American Privilege
DESCRIPTION:Nick McDonell grew up on New York City’s Upper East Side\, a neighborhood defined by its wealth and influence. As a child\, McDonell enjoyed everything that rarefied world entailed–sailing lessons in the Hamptons\, school galas at the Met\, and holiday trips on private jets. But as an adult\, he left it behind to become a foreign correspondent in Iraq and Afghanistan. \nIn Quiet Street\, McDonell returns to the sidewalks of his youth\, exhuming with bracing honesty his upbringing and those of his affluent peers. From Galápagos Island cruises and Tanzanian safaris to steely handshakes and schoolyard microaggressions to fox-hunting rituals and the courtship rites of sexually precocious tweens\, McDonell examines the rearing of the ruling class in scalpel-sharp detail\, documenting how wealth and power are hoarded\, encoded\, and passed down from one generation to the next. What’s more\, he demonstrates how outsiders–the poor\, the nonwhite\, the suburban–are kept out. \nSearing and precise yet ultimately full of compassion\, Quiet Street examines the problem of America’s one percent\, whose vision of a more just world never materializes. Who are these people? How do they cling to power? What would it take for them to share it? Quiet Street looks for answers in a universal experience: coming to terms with the culture that made you. \nNick will be in conversation with his editor\, Lisa Lucas. \nLisa Lucas is the Senior Vice President & Publisher of Pantheon and Schocken Books at Penguin Random House. Previously\, Lucas was the Executive Director of the National Book Foundation for five years. Prior to joining the Foundation\, she served as the Publisher of Guernica\, a non-profit online magazine focusing on writing that explores the intersection of art and politics with an international and diverse focus.
