Rachel Kushner’s latest novel Creation Lake, a French noir eco-espionage thriller, became an instant New York Times bestseller, was short-listed for the Booker, and won comparisons to the great spy novel master John le Carré – with the cheeky wit of Kill Bill and the daring style of Killing Eve. In it she both subverts and reinvents the spy genre and gives us a story propelled as much by heady philosophical ideas as by the twists and turns of plot. It’s the latest in a career that has dazzled her fans - whether she is taking on the art and radicalism in 1970s New York (The Flamethrowers), the horrors of the US carceral system (The Mars Room) or American expatriates caught up in the Cuban revolution (Telex from Cuba). Join us for this conversation and find out how this author creates stories and characters that always feel so brilliantly and bracingly alive.
