The Chairs Are Where the People Go with Sheila Heti and Misha Glouberman
Presented with Plan 99
An odd and satisfying blend of philosophy, self-help, and, improbably, charade game theory... The Chairs Are Where the People Go reads like the wisdom of Benjamin Franklin as told to David Byrne.
Should neighborhoods change? Is wearing a suit a good way to quit smoking? Why do people think that if you do one thing, you’re against something else? Is monogamy a trick? Why isn’t making the city more fun for you and your friends a super-noble political goal? Why does a computer last only three years? How often should you see your parents? How should we behave at parties?
Sheila Heti, Misha Glouberman’s friend and collaborator, wanted her next book to be a compilation of everything Misha knew. Together, they made a list of subjects. As Misha talked, Sheila typed. Join us for a taste of the resulting commentary on modern urban life.
