“Jill Lepore is a national treasure.” – Adam Hochschild, author of Bury the Chains
“Everything Jill Lepore writes is distinguished by intelligence, eloquence, and fresh insight.” – Susan Orlean, author of The Orchid Thief and The Library Book
Few historians have brought such insight, wisdom and empathy to public discourse as Harvard’s Jill Lepore. A two-time Pulitzer Prize finalist, longlisted for the National Book Award and recipient of numerous awards and honors, Lepore brings her panoptic range and razor-sharp style to a discussion of the Supreme Court and the looming crisis of the U.S. Constitution’s unamendability. The U.S. Constitution was always meant to be added to and improved, so how has it become one of the most difficult in the world to change? And what are the consequences?
