On a hot August night in Brooklyn, novelist, art critic and photographer Teju Cole (Open City, Every Day is for the Thief) celebrates the launch of his essay collection Known and Strange Things. His conversation with novelist and essayist Amitava Kumar (Lunch With a Bigot, Nobody Does the Right Thing) encompasses the difference between an essay and a take, the concept of the punctum in a work of art, the importance of constellational thinking, and several jokes about air conditioning. Part of the Brooklyn Voices series at St. Joseph's College.
