This event took place on August 31, 2022.

Controversial novelist and commentator Lionel Shriver in conversation with Benjamin Teitelbaum, will discuss her first nonfiction book, the hot-off-the-presses Abominations: Selected essays from a career of courting self-destruction.鈥  Shriver was one of the earliest critics of identity politics, that constellation of prescriptive opinions we now call "woke."  She has been subjected to three concerted pile-ons, after which she has mysteriously got up, dusted herself off, and carried on saying the ostensibly unsayable. Shriver has even dared discouraging words about immigration, affirmative action, and 鈥 perhaps her most outrageous stance 鈥 punitive taxation of the well-off. Part of the Benson Center's Media Bias series.
