Hello,This week, we have a long talk with an author we both have admired for a while, Jonathan Mahler. His new book, <a target="_blank" href="https://www.penguinrandomhouse.com/books/568081/the-gods-of-new-york-by-jonathan-mahler/">The Gods of New York: Egoists, Idealists, Opportunists, and the Birth of the Modern City: 1986-1990</a>, is a chronicle of how a four year stretch in New York City laid down the groundwork for a new city, one that fully separated itself from its working class roots and any notion of civic unity for a fractured, polarized, and atomized city that gave rise to everyone from Donald Trump to Al Sharpton to Larry Kramer to Spike Lee. Really really good book and a great guest. This is a public episode.
