2024 Academic Affairs Fall Meeting

Episode 02: A Conversation with #1 New York Times Best Selling Author Adam Mansbach: Hip Hop, Hope, Race, Jewishness, fatherhood, fame, and making sense of it all.Being an artist in today’s landscape is far from easy. Adam Mansbach’s career has spanned from a playful book for parents such as “Go the F to Sleep” to a book about his brother’s suicide, to his most recent “The Golem of Brooklyn” dealing with themes of neo-Nazis and Jewish hate in the US. We discuss how fatherhood has shaped his life, his views on the Israel-Palestine War, his experience of being a hip hop kid, and his advice for future writers. He’s a very funny guy, extremely insightful, and tells the best stories (of course, he’s a writer!). Come check it out!
