About This Event
Belgian-born writer and critic Lucy Sante, a frequent contributor to The New York Review of Books whose work traces the undercurrents of old New York and moves between reportage, cultural history and performance, presents Something in the Air and In girum imus nocte et consumimur igni at L'Alliance New York. She brings a page-trained attention to rhythm and detail to a live delivery that favors clarity over spectacle.
