Kurt Andersen and artist Kara Walker peer into what artists make in the dark. We take listeners into a pitch-black gallery space with only a flashlight, and the playwright Lanford Wilson, on the verge of a breakdown, creates a masterpiece. Also, the frontman of a death metal band illuminates his shadowy music, and a novelist guides us on a tour of his haunted book.
Every day, reporters and producers at The World are hard at work bringing you human-centered news from across the globe. But we can’t do it without you. We need your support to ensure we can continue this work for another year.
