An Evening with Writer and Critic Lucy Sante

Lucy Sante is a transgender, Belgian-born nonfiction writer, art critic, and cultural commentator of astonishingly wide interests, including the Beastie Boys, early photography and the history of New York City reservoirs.

She is also “one of the handful of living masters of the American language, as well as a singular historian and philosopher of American experience,” according to Peter Schjeldahl of The New Yorker.

Heretofore known as Luc Sante, she is widely recognized for Low Life (1991) about crime and entertainment in Old New York, 1840-1919 as well as her collected essays, Kill All Your Darlings: Pieces 1990-2005 (2007). A second collection, Maybe the People Would Be the Times, came out in 2020.
