"Welcome To The #Resistance" (w/ Neal Pollack)

Jessa invites writer Neal Pollack onto the show to discuss the opportunism and profiteering of #Resistance writers in the age of Trump. They talk about the state of literature and journalism since the 2016 election, the abrupt shift of literary power from the Obama administration to the Trump administration, the role of the novel in our culture, the modern publishing industry, and whether or not were, in fact, living under tyranny. Plus, Jessa and Neal dish on some of their favorite and least favorite works published since Trumps inauguration. Public Intellectual is now on #Patreon!
