À propos de cet épisode

Three </span><i><span>New Yorker</span></i><span> critics—</span><a href="https://www.newyorker.com/contributors/alexandra-schwartz"><span>Alexandra Schwartz</span></a><span>, </span><a href="https://www.newyorker.com/contributors/naomi-fry"><span>Naomi Fry</span></a><span>, and </span><a href="https://www.newyorker.com/contributors/vinson-cunningham"><span>Vinson Cunningham</span></a><span>—recently gathered to assess #MeToo’s impact on the culture more broadly. They discussed works like the new film “Tár,” the movie “The Assistant,” the fiction pieces “</span><a href="https://www.newyorker.com/books/novellas/this-is-pleasure"><span>This Is Pleasure</span></a><span>” and “</span><a href="https://www.newyorker.com/magazine/2017/12/11/cat-person"><span>Cat Person</span></a><span>,” and more. Schwartz notes that #MeToo is not only an event in time but also a lens through which to tell stories about interpersonal relationships that have long been taken for granted.</span></p><br/> <p>Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
