Tara Isabella Burton appeared on VICE TV to discuss her newest book, STRANGE RITES. Additionally, The National Review gave the title a fantastic review, writing: “STRANGE WRITES offers a series of Instagram-filtered snapshots of what the search for meaning looks like in the age of curated consumption. It also provides an irresistible frame for understanding the quest for community in the age of YouTube influencers and fan-fiction forums. Burton’s blend of an academic’s care and a journalist’s eye for suggestive detail makes [it] an easy book to recommend.” PublicAffairs published the book on June 16, 2020.
