DESCRIPTION:Wed, April 14, 6-7pm Pacific time\n\nKPFA Radio 94.1 FM presents\n\nVIVIAN 
 GORNICK with KRIS WELCH\nTaking a Long Look: Essays on Culture, Literature 
 and Feminism \n\nTAKING A LONG LOOK: ESSAYS ON CULTURE, LITERATURE AND 
 FEMINISM IN OUR TIME is described by Publishers Weekly as "illuminating and 
 a welcome addition to this astute critic's oeuvre." \n\nVivian Gornick has 
 brought together 40 years of  her work. Alternately crackling with energy 
 or lucid with insight, the essays show us one of America's most beloved 
 critics at her best. She tackles subjects familiar and not, from feminism, 
 literature, and culture to race, science, and ecology. Many of these essays 
 are now out of print, and several have been revised to reflect Gornick's 
 initial editorial intent. Featuring a new introduction, Taking A Long Look 
 illuminates one of the main themes present throughout Gornick's work: that 
 the painful process of knowing one's self is what connects us all. 
 \n\nExploring the lives of Alfred Kazin, Mary McCarthy, Philip Roth, and 
 Herman Melville; the cultural impact of Silent Spring and Uncle Tom's 
 Cabin; Gornick's incendiary essays, first published in the Village Voice, 
 on the women's liberation movements of the 70s; plus many a New York story, 
 these essays show us one of America's most beloved critics at her best. 
 \n\nVivian Gornick is a writer and critic whose work has received two 
 National Book Critics Circle Award nominations and been collected in The 
 Best American Essays 2014. Gornick became a legendary writer for Village 
 Voice, chronicling the emergence of the feminist movements in the 1970s, 
 and a respected literary critic. Her works include the memoirs Fierce 
 Attachments-ranked the best memoir of the last fifty years by the New York 
 Times-The Odd Woman and the City, and Unfinished Business: Notes of a 
 Chronic Re-Reader, as well as the classic text on writing, The Situation 
 and the Story. \n\nKris Welch is a veteran, very popular KPFA on-air host, 
 a mother, and a devoted  grandmother.\n\nSuggested Donation $5-$20.\n
