Words on the screen: The New Yorker’s fiercely original, Pulitzer Prize-winning television critic has just published I Like to Watch, a provocative collection of new and previously published essays arguing that we are what we watch. The New York Times has called I Like to Watch “confident, dauntless criticism — smart and spiky, brilliantly sure of itself.” Nussbaum will discuss the joys and challenges of writing about TV during its current, much-touted Golden Age.
Emily Nussbaum is the television critic for the New Yorker. In 2016, she won the 2016 Pulitzer Prize for criticism. She is the author of I Like To Watch: Arguing My Way Through The TV Revolution.
