Randolph Bourne was an influential essayist writing in the nineteen-teens about war, the state, and American national identity – heavy topics he managed to tackle before dying at the age of 32. Next month, journalist Allan Jalon will hold a conference about Bourne at Columbia University. Host Dean Olsher met with Jalon in a West Village café to talk about his interest in this mostly forgotten public figure. Produced by Matt Lieber.
