Aspen Literary Festival – Nathan Hill & Tayari Jones: Love and Marriage in Contemporary America

Fiction offers a powerful lens into the ways intimacy is shaped—and sometimes strained—by culture, class, and expectation. This conversation explores how contemporary novels interrogate the myths of marriage and family, revealing both the resilience and the fragility of long-term relationships. With humor and empathy, the discussion asks what our most intimate bonds can tell us about the stories America tells itself.
