In anticipation of the NYRB reissues of Renata Adler's modern classics, Speedboat and Pitch Dark, a panel of writers will discuss her importance as a novelist and journalist and also her brief but brilliant stint as a film critic. The panel discussion will be moderated by writer/programmer Miriam Bale and includes Thomas Beard (Light Industry), Richard Brody (The New Yorker), Emily Gould (Emily Books), A.S. Hamrah (n+1) and Choire Sicha (The Awl).

Preceding the panel will be a screening of Maurice Pialat's feature debut, L'enfance nue, a film Adler greatly admired.
