The Communal Mind

Patricia Lockwood

In her 2019 LRB Winter Lecture, Patricia Lockwood travels through the internet, wondering why we're talking like this, why we deliberately order the worst thing on the menu, and what it felt like to be a man, at the turn of the century, posting increasing amounts of his balls online.

Recorded at the British Museum on 8 February 2019.
