Blue Ruin ft. Hari Kunzru
🕑 Added 2024-07-19 12:28:32 +0000 UTCHari returns to the podcast to talk about his latest novel, "Blue Ruin", published by Scribner.
Hussein and Hari talk about the London art scene in the 90s and early aughts, and how the novel examines the relationship between art, authenticity and access to capital. Hari also talks about the challenges of writing a 'Pandemic Novel' at a time when most governments are choosing to believe it never happened, and whether art can have a long-lasting social impact at a time when so much cultural production demands more intensity and immediacy as a means to enhance the 'consumer experience'.
