	Description:		We’re going back to the archives for a 2019 conversation with Meg Wolitzer, whose best-selling books include The Interestings and The Ten-Year Nap. Wolitzer brings readers deep into the lives of her characters, and her clear prose, is infused with sharp observations about group dynamics and ambition. A feminist thread runs throughout all of her work, particularly in her novel “The Wife,” a satirical portrait of a marriage between an acclaimed writer and his overlooked and uncredited spouse. It was adapted into a movie starring Glenn Close. On January 24, 2019 , Meg Wolitzer came to the Sydney Goldstein Theater, to be interviewed by New Yorker writer Adam Gopnik. The two talked about her just-published work The Female Persuasion, an investigation into power and different generation’s conflicting concepts of feminism.
