Looking Back at NYC with Nostalgia and Dismay

In a newly recorded video, the noted writers Elisabeth Bronfen, Maaza Mengiste, and Christoph Keller look back at their experience of New York City with nostalgic affection — and, it must be said, with considerable dismay — from their vantage points in Switzerland and Germany. The video was recorded at Literaturhaus Zürich. The discussion begins on the video track at 3 minutes, 10 seconds, and lasts for roughly an hour and a half. They all speak in English. Enjoy.
