This event will be streamed online as part of our new P&P Live! Series.
In the run-up to the 2016 election, Masha Gessen stood out from other journalists for the ability to convey the ominous significance of Donald Trump’s speech and behavior, unprecedented in a national candidate. Within 48 hours of his victory, the essay “Autocracy: Rules for Survival” had gone viral, and Gessen’s coverage of his norm-smashing presidency became essential reading for a citizenry struggling to wrap their heads around the unimaginable. Their incisive new book, Surviving Autocracy, provides an indispensable overview of the calamitous trajectory of the past few years.
Gessen will be in conversation with Dahlia Lithwick, who writes about the courts and the law for Slate and the host of the podcast Amicus.

Instead of a set ticket price, we ask that you contribute what you can to support Politics and Prose Bookstore and our virtual event series. We know that everyone has been affected in these trying times, and we will continue to make our programming accessible to all. That said, a suggested contribution of $5, $10, whatever you can afford, will go a long way to keep our programming—and our bookstore—afloat as we are forced to adapt to new ways of business.
The other way you can support us is always by purchasing a copy of the book from our website.
We are so grateful to be surrounded by such a loyal and engaged community and we thank you for your support, now and always.
