This week, AWM Program Director Allison Sansone chats with author and historian Aaron Sachs about his new book Up from the Depths: Herman Melville, Lewis Mumford, and Rediscovery in Dark Times, a double portrait of two of America’s most influential writers that reveals the surprising connections between them—and their uncanny relevance to our age of crisis. This conversation originally took place June 7th, 2022 and was recorded live via Zoom.

We hope you enjoy entering the mind of a writer.
