Lipstick Traces Turns 20

Nov. 19, Altschul Auditorium, 420 W. 118th St. (betw. Amsterdam Ave. & Morningside Dr.), 212- 226-6967; 6, Free

The paragon of music journalism, the papadam of cultural theory, Greil Marcus, the one-man show of relevant social critique, reads from the book that made it all happen: Lipstick Traces, Marcus’ 1989 masterpiece that wove together the myriad strands of 20th-century thought into an eminently readable jaunt.

Bottom Line: Meet the man and hear from his mouth—peppered, I’m sure, with colorful ejaculations—the story of our modern lives.
