What to do in LA: Book events with Julie Andrews, Ben Lerner and Lindy West
Lindy West, author of “Shrill: Notes From a Loud Woman,” which was turned into a Hulu series earlier this year, is just one of the feminists proud to hop on her broomstick. In her latest, “The Witches Are Coming,” West draws on her experience as a stepmother to two teen girls, as well as her own upbringing, to comment on misogyny, women’s anger, #MeToo and other aspects of the current political moment. The event is presented by8 p.m. Monday.
” Lerner’s latest takes Adam Gordon, the same central character who appeared in the author’s debut, “Leaving the Atocha Station,” and travels to late-'90s Kansas. Through Gordon, a debate-team prodigy and son of a famous feminist psychologist, “The Topeka School” ruminates on the meaning and failures of communication, family, psychology and masculine identity. Lerner will be in conversation with author and UCLA professor Mona Simpson.
