​Hilton’s writing challenges us to look at how, and what, we see. He searches for emotional truths in his subjects, and also in himself.
WHITE GIRLS is a collection of 13 essays that form a portrait of ‘white girls’, an expansive category that spans Michael Jackson, Truman Capote, Eminem and Jean Michel Basquiat.
Hilton will be in conversation with journalist Charlie Porter. The evening will include readings from WHITE GIRLS, an audience Q&A and a chance to buy signed copies of the book.
