Six Bridges Book Festival: Mayukh Sen / Charlotte Druckman

Moderated by Regina Black

Mayukh Sen

Part cultural analysis, part backstage tour, Love in the Afternoon, and Evening is a love letter to the misunderstood, often-dismissed American genre of soap operas. Critics, friends, and soap opera obsessives Mayukh Sen and Charlotte Druckman invite readers into a conversation that ranges from topics both serious (race, reproductive rights, queerness) and fun (fashion! long-lost daughters! evil twins!). It will make you want to bust out your shoulder pads and binge your favorite show all over again.
