The Free Press reporter and head of strategy Nellie Bowles joins Interintellect founder Anna Gát for a conversation on Bowles’ new book, Morning After the Revolution: Dispatches from the Wrong Side of History, and the process of undertaking journalist investigation of our culture’s strangest and funniest political impulses.
Nellie Bowles was previously a reporter at the New York Times, where she won the Gerald Loeb Award for investigative journalism and the Robert F. Kennedy Journalism Award. Morning After the Revolution is a humorous exploration of Bowles’ process of questioning whether elements of the progressive movement she knew and loved were actually helping people. Diving into the movement’s most absurd branches and trying to please the New York Times’ “disinformation czar,” Bowles exposes the comic excesses of a movement which has become central to American life.
Join us for a conversation on Nellie Bowle’s professional journey, the personal encounters which prompted this recent book project, the journalistic process, and some of the most interesting (and most comical) discoveries.
