So thrilled to take Hard to Love to Chicago, the home of Gwendolyn Brooks, leaner and philosopher of leaning extraordinaire. #LeanOn

I’ll be chatting with two amazing Chicago-based writers:

- my brilliant friend Adrienne Brown, author of The Black Skyscraper and editor of Race and Real Estate, who first told me to read Maud Martha, Housekeeping, and Angelica Jade Bastién’s amazing essay on Now Voyager (I write about all of them in Hard to Love), and

- Angelica Jade Bastién herself! Angelica is a cultural critic and staff writer at Vulture. Her writing has appeared in (among other places) the New York Times, The Atlantic, the Criterion Collection, and Elle.
