The American Library in Paris's Evenings with an Author podcast is back with a new season of author talks and panel discussions, recorded live in the heart of Paris.

Does the retreat from Afghanistan mark the end of the American era, or else the start of a new one? This panel discussion focuses on President Biden’s attempt to reset America's place in a new decade of global collaboration, with a particular focus on Biden’s exit from Afghanistan and recent alliance with Great Britain and Australia. Robin Wright (the New Yorker), Steven Erlanger (the New York Times) and Serge Schmemann (the New York Times), drawing on their collective knowledge and long international careers, tuned in virtually for a moderated discussion. Hosted by Library Programs Director Alice McCrum.

Evenings with an Author is sponsored by GRoW @ Annenberg.
