Two fearless memoirists take aim at the myths they once believed and the industries that shaped them. In I Want to Burn This Place Down, cultural critic Maris Kreizman reflects on ambition, disillusionment, and the slow unraveling of faith in American institutions — offering sharp, intimate essays on radicalization, rage, and reinvention. In Care and Feeding, food writer Laurie Woolever recounts her chaotic and exhilarating career in the restaurant world, where she worked alongside high-profile men while grappling with addiction and grief. This conversation explores what happens after the rules fail and how to nourish something real in the ruins.
