E260 - Stone Age Noir w/ Rachel Kushner
Description
Rachel Kushner joins us to talk about her new novel Creation Lake--the story of an American agent provocateur infiltrating a rural commune in France.
We go through some of the inspirations behind her characters in this and past books (including Jacques Camatte, Julian Coupat, and Ben Morea), a Soviet historian's theory of the Neanderthal origins of class war, and the RKCU (Rachel Kushner Cinematic Universe)
