Hello all: Please join us on Tuesday, January 26th at 7pm in East Pyne 127 for our January Book Club Meeting to discuss
Far From the Tree by Andrew Solomon, former lecturer at Princeton
In Brief: "Solomon’s startling proposition is that diversity is what unites us all. He writes about families coping with deafness, dwarfism, Down syndrome, autism, schizophrenia, multiple severe disabilities, with children who are prodigies, who are conceived in rape, who become criminals, who are transgender. While each of these characteristics is potentially isolating, the experience of difference within families is universal. In Solomon’s telling, these stories are everyone’s stories."
