- This week on the podcast, Reihan Salam welcomes Hilton Als, the theater writer for the New Yorker and one of America's most daring and inventive critics. In his latest book, White Girls, Als blends criticism and memoir in a series of interlinked reflections on race, sex, and art, and he discusses the book with Reihan along with his early years as a writer and what it means to cross boundaries of class, color, and culture.

i'm grateful to the interviewer for bringing hilton, for his thoughtful questions, close reading and listening. and i'm grateful to hilton, as ever, for being penetrating, imaginative, contrary (as he likes to say), and bighearted. white girls is a remarkable achievement, both for the quality of the writing and the ideas. just beautiful.
LOL..The insecurity button is getting a good workout on this vid.
reihan salam is a really great interviewer! he and hilton are really compelling.
I really like Hilton Als outlook on friends, seeing the world through their eyes and them seeing the world through your own eyes. The whole convenient friendship thing kind of stabbed at my heart though, because I really do need *me* time... I'm a bit of a loner and enjoy solitude for weeks on end sometimes.
Pretty disappointed in all these comments, almost entirely missed the point.
Reihan Salam is a great interviewer.
I agree.
This man is brilliant for even trying gain true knowledge of his subjects of matter. If it makes you insecure than sure you can be upset. It's biased in your perspective. But the fact that he analyzes these things in such a realistic manner allows the truth to be told. And some people can't handle the truth. Naturally. Cheers
What he said about friendship hit me in the gut. I have several male friends and I worry that I will lose them after they get married.
The host is kind of creepy
Cool I love uncle Phil
Wow. This was more interesting than I expected.
When did Barry White start writing books?
I read the Truman Capote chapter thinking that Hilton Als felt negatively towards him - I read so wrong
THATS UNCLE PHIL FROM FRESH PRINCE

If there was no video footage, you would assume this was a recording of ESPN's John Clayton talking to Jimi Hendrix.
way over your heads never get it got it good.
Who cares i sure dont
Why even leave a comment?
If the subject does not intrest you don`t watch it.
he enforces the guests to be too set in the moment of importance regarding every aspect making every vid monotone as fuc!
He alludes to it breifly at the beginning, but I think he and the interviewer just kind of regard "that fact" as common sense and not so relevant, except in a vaguely ironic way, to a book that was written to reflect growing up in a family/milieu (not a society or nation state, fine) that was dominated by minority women, and encountering "white women" as 'others' in contrast to the cultural narrative you wish he would write about.
traditionally,,white women have worked educated them selfs and raised children.and somehow..acquire s bit of economic status...a dam hard journey...its a hard work mentallity...which is learned from thee example...of the white family
Dang I missed uncle Phil
Aww he has a cold! How white girl of me tho 😎👱
