CHRIS MOLANPHY, Music and Culture Critic, Visits to Discuss New Book about Lil Nas X’s OLD TOWN ROAD

November 17, 2023 @ 12:30 pm - 2:00 pm

Chris Molanphy, columnist for Slate and writer for publications including Rolling Stone, Pitchfork, New York Magazine, NPR Music, and the Village Voice, visits the Institute Library to celebrate the publication of his new book, from the Duke University Press Singles series, about the Lil Nas X song Old Town Road. Critical acclaim from Emily Lordi: “Chris Molanphy provides a (typical for him) master class in understanding ‘Old Town Road’ as well as the interaction between race, the charts, and country music. A fascinating, rigorous, and joyful book.” Copies of Old Town Road will be for sale courtesy of New Haven’s own Possible Futures. This event is free and open to the public.
