Author Reading | Lost & Found: A Memoir from Pulitzer Winner Kathryn Schulz (online)


Eighteen months before Kathryn Schulz’s beloved father died, she met the woman she would marry. In her new book, she weaves the stories of those relationships into a brilliant exploration of how all our lives are shaped by loss and discovery—from the maddening disappearance of everyday objects to the sweeping devastations of war, pandemic, and natural disaster; from finding new planets to falling in love. A staff writer at The New Yorker and winner of the Pulitzer Prize, Kathryn Schulz writes with curiosity, tenderness, erudition, and wit about our finite yet infinitely complicated lives. Crafted with the emotional clarity of C. S. Lewis and the intellectual force of Susan Sontag, Lost & Found is an uncommon book about common experiences.

Author Reading | The Topography of Wellness: Health and the American Urban Landscape (online)


Sara Jensen Carr, assistant professor at Northeastern University, examines landscape responses to six historical urban epidemics and the implication for current and future practice. Beginning in the Industrial Revolution, Carr narrates an ever-changing relationship to wellness and our environments with the epidemiology of disease, from the infectious diseases of cholera and tuberculosis, the so-called social diseases, and the complex origins of today’s chronic illnesses. Each illness and its subsequent remedying have left their indelible mark on our surroundings and these extensive environmental changes often came with significant social and physical consequences – including inadvertently fostering future epidemics.
