First Stop of Under the Radar at The Public: 80's NYC With New Yorker Writer Adam Gopnik

With his signature wit and keen observational eye for the manners of everyday life, bestselling author and beloved New Yorker staff writer Adam Gopnik chronicles his early days in the tumultuous decade of the 1980s-where a life begun in the smallest apartment in Manhattan opened the gate to professional misadventures in the worlds of high fashion, art and public speaking.

Jumping forward twenty years, Gopnik also tells the story of raising two children in the utterly different New York of the aughts and builds a moving portrait where imaginary friends, misunderstood texts and even steam bath sexuality all manage to confound and shape his understanding.

New this year is assigned seating at all Under the Radar performances.

Members and Partners: start at $20
