Watch Now! Macaulay Authors: Carmen Boullosa

  •  August 12, 2020
     4:00 pm - 5:30 pm

Join us for a virtual event featuring Prof. Carmen Boullosa in conversation with Macaulay Chief Academic Officer Joe Ugoretz. In her latest novel, The Book of Anna, Boullosa imagines a book written by Leo Tolstoy’s iconic character Anna Karenina. It’s an opium-infused feminist fairy tale set against the birth of the Russian Revolution.

“It’s obvious that Tolstoy had problems with women,” Boullosa has said. “And I thought if she had had her book [published] her life would have been different.”
