#About the event
Duration: 60 minutes
With 2018’s Inappropriation, Lexi Freiman pressed all the right buttons, honing in on the peculiar relationship of privilege to politics. In The Book of Ayn, she brings a madcap energy to one cancelled woman’s obsession with that Ayn – the author, iconic amphetamine user and bête noire of the socialist left.
