Kurt Andersen has one of those careers that makes him the envy of a lot of folks in media. The guy has had a fairly golden touch, starting with the birth of the late great humor magazine, Spy, which he co-founded with Graydon Carter and Tom Phillips. He's also been a columnist for The New Yorker and editor in chief of New York. And he currently hosts public radio's popular Studio 360, which has won a Peabody Award.

Şeyda Kurt, nimmt unsere allzu vertrauten Liebesnormen im Kraftfeld von Patriarchat, Rassismus und Kapitalismus auseinander - und erforscht am Beispiel ihrer eigenen Biografie, wie traditionelle Beziehungsmodelle in die Schieflage geraten, sobald sicher geglaubte Familienbande zerbrechen und hergebrachte Wahrheiten in Zweifel geraten.
