Of Morals and Men
ABOUT THE SHOW
Andrew O’Hagan, Michael Winkler, Andrew Pippos & Malcolm Knox in conversation with Raeden Richardson
A slide down the social ladder in a changing city. A battle against loneliness in an age of scammers and AI systems. A transformative encounter in the midst of institutional decline. A toxic friendship in the Machiavellian world of 1930s Soviet politics. In these four striking novels, men negotiate the many questions and quandaries of masculinity, morality and materiality.
