SUMMARY:Krista Tippett in conversation with Pico Iyer
DESCRIPTION:“On the air and in print\, Ms. Tippett avoids easy answers\, embracing complexity and inviting people of every background to join her conversation about faith\, ethics\, and moral wisdom.” – President Barack Obama \nKrista Tippett is an award-winning broadcaster\, author\, and a National Humanities Medalist. She is the creator and host of On Being\, a podcast that provides intelligent public conversation about the religious\, spiritual\, and moral aspects of human life. In 2014\, President Obama awarded Tippett the National Humanities Medal at the White House for “thoughtfully delving into the mysteries of human existence.” Her forthcoming book\, Letters to a Young Citizen\, is a response to the questions Tippett has been asked by audiences in today’s rapidly changing world. The book will speak to the young citizen in each of us—to everyone struggling to discern the contribution we might make to this moment. \nPico Iyer is a travel writer\, essayist\, and novelist\, whose many books include Autumn Light\, Video Night in Kathmandu\, The Lady and the Monk\, The Man Within My Head\, and The Art of Stillness\, a beautiful and thoughtful investigation of the benefits of quiet contemplation and travel to “nowhere.”

SUMMARY:Molly Wizenberg: The Fixed Stars
DESCRIPTION:Molly Wizenberg discusses her new memoir\, The Fixed Stars\, with Esmé Weijun Wang. \nPraise for The Fixed Stars \n“In The Fixed Stars\, Molly Wizenberg tackles the ever-shifting issues of marriage\, motherhood\, and sexual orientation with the same compassion and unflinching honesty that have become the hallmarks of her writing. She makes the everyday extraordinary and brings depth and complexity to the bigger questions in life. A beautiful read.”— Erica Bauermeister \n“The Fixed Stars\, like its protagonist\, is both brave and sexy\, both heady and bodily\, and I ripped through this memoir like it was the most erudite romance novel in the world. This is a truly compelling look at sexuality\, marriage\, and parenthood in this century.” — Emma Straub \n“The Fixed Stars is that rare thing\, a groundbreaking\, essential book about sexuality. Wizenberg’s incisive\, generous laying-bare of her own experience will make many readers feel seen\, understood\, and not alone. This book is a triumph.”— Kate Christensen \nAbout The Fixed Stars \nFrom a bestselling memoirist\, a thoughtful and provocative story of changing identity\, complex sexuality\, and enduring family relationships \nAt age 36\, while serving on a jury\, author Molly Wizenberg found herself drawn to a female attorney she hardly knew. Married to a man for nearly a decade and mother to a toddler\, Wizenberg tried to return to her life as she knew it\, but something inside her had changed irrevocably. Instead\, she would discover that the trajectory of our lives is rarely as smooth or as logical as we’d like to believe. \nLike many of us\, Wizenberg had long understood sexual orientation as a stable part of ourselves: we’re “born this way.” Suddenly she realized that her story was more complicated. Who was she\, she wondered\, if something at her very core could change so radically? The Fixed Stars is a taut\, electrifying memoir exploring timely and timeless questions about desire\, identity\, and the limits and possibilities of family. In honest and searing prose\, Wizenberg forges a new path: through the murk of separation and divorce\, coming out to family and friends\, learning to co-parent a young child\, and realizing a new vision of love. The result is a frank and moving story about letting go of rigid definitions and ideals that no longer fit\, and learning instead who we really are.
