Item Description
A salon with David Samuels, contributing writer for Harper's and The New Yorker, and Alana Newhouse, Editor in Chief of Tablet.
Sunday, June 8
at the Brooklyn Heights home of Susan and Bill Rifkin
David Samuels is a Contributing Editor at Harper’s and a frequent contributor to The New Yorker. He is known for writing long nonfiction narratives about con-men and fugitives, radicals, rap stars, addicts, thieves and politicians that explore the twinned American traditions of self-invention and self-deceit. His books Only Love Can Break Your Heart and The Runner were published in April, 2008 and released in paperback the following year. In a long review essay in The Nation, the critic John Palattella called David’s achievement “staggering” and compared his work favorably to that of Joan Didion and Tom Wolfe: “Like Didion, Samuels investigates the vortex of American life, a feeling of weightlessness and existential drift that can swallow people whole, but he reports on it in an entirely different manner.”
Alana Newhouse joined Nextbook in September 2008 and oversaw its redesign and relaunch as Tablet Magazine. Before that, she spent five years as culture editor of the Forward, where she supervised coverage of books, films, dance, music, art, and ideas. She also started a line of Forward-branded books with W.W. Norton and edited its maiden publication, A Living Lens: Photographs of Jewish Life from the Pages of the Forward. A graduate of Barnard College and Columbia’s Graduate School of Journalism, Alana has contributed to The New York Times, The Washington Post, The Boston Globe, and Slate.
