Join authors Dan Slater and Tova Mirvis for a con­ver­sa­tion examining portrayals of crime and criminals in America. Through their works of fiction and nonfiction, we can trace how changing conversations about crime are a reflection of the broader world we live in today. Moderated by writer and podcast host, Stephanie Butnick.

Admis­sion to the event is free and includes an oppor­tu­ni­ty to vis­it the Jewish Museum’s gal­leries on the day of the pro­gram. Advance RSVP is required; how­ev­er, ear­ly arrival is sug­gest­ed as space is lim­it­ed, and entry is not guaranteed.

About the speakers:

A former reporter for the Wall Street Journal, Dan Slater is the author of four works of nonfiction, including Wolf Boys, which the Chicago Public Library named a best book of the year. The New York Times called his new book, The Incorruptibles, about the Jewish underworld of pre-WWI New York, “unrivaled” and chose it as an editor’s pick. Raised in Minnesota, Slater lives in New England with his wife and their two sons.

Tova Mirvis is the author of the memoir The Book of Separation as well as four novels, We Would Never, Visible City, The Outside World, and The Ladies Auxiliary, which was a national bestseller. Her essays have appeared in The New York Times, The Washington Post, The Boston Globe Magazine and Real Simple, and her fiction has been broadcast on NPR. She lives in Newton, Massachusetts with her family.

This event is co-presented with Jewish Book Council.
