Meyer’s innovative perspective uses art criticism, fiction, and theory to examine a diverse array of cultural objects that investigate the contemporary fascination with the Sixties, global expressions of cultural memories, and reimagine the 1950s – 1970s. Join us for a book signing after the reading.
