Tobi Haslett will write a series of articles about artists who decline nostalgia, melancholy, and speculative fantasy to instead produce work that directly confronts the truth of a disastrous present, evoking despair as an active, inventive, and even disruptive element.
Tobi Haslett’s writing on art, film, literature, and politics has appeared in Bookforum, Harper’s, n+1, and The New York Review of Books.
