Tonight: Alex Ross and Sasha Frere-Jones!

Monday, November 15, 7:30 pm
Alex Ross, author of Listen to This, talks with New Yorker music critic Sasha Frere-Jones

Alex Ross’s award-winning international bestseller, The Rest Is Noise: Listening to the Twentieth Century, has become a contemporary classic, establishing Ross as one of our most popular and acclaimed cultural historians. His new collection Listen to This, which takes its title from a beloved 2004 essay in which Ross describes his late-blooming discovery of pop music, showcases the best of his writing from more than a decade at The New Yorker. These pieces, dedicated to classical and popular artists alike, are at once erudite and lively; whether his subject is Mozart or Bob Dylan, Ross shows how music expresses the full complexity of the human condition. Ross chats about pop and classical criticism with Sasha Frere-Jones, his fellow New Yorker music writer as well as an author and musician.
