SUMMARY:Virtual Event: Emily Maloney with Alex Marzano-Lesnevich
DESCRIPTION:Join us on Monday\, February 21st at 6pm PT when Emily Maloney celebrates her book\, Cost of Living\, with Alex Marzano-Lesnevich on Zoom! \nZoom Registration \nPraise for Cost of Living \n“In Cost of Living\, Emily Maloney explores from many perspectives\, and with deep empathy\, intelligence\, and humor the real suffering caused by medical debt and the underpayment of healthcare workers. Like Barbara Ehrenreich’s Nickel and Dimed and Atul Gawande’s Complications\, Maloney’s memoir is at once illuminating and alarming. It will leave readers asking: why has no one ever written a book like this before?” \n—Suzanne Koven\, MD\, author of Letter to a Young Female Physician \n“Emily Maloney’s Cost of Living is a brilliant book\, a staggering indictment of a brutal and arbitrary healthcare system that shapes our days in ways so small it often goes right over our heads. On top of that\, it’s gorgeously written–clear\, exacting\, rigorous\, compassionate–in sentences that lift off the page like song.” \n—Paul Lisicky\, author of Later: My Life at the Edge of the World \n“I’ve never read anything like Emily Maloney’s Cost of Living\, a devastatingly precise\, thoughtful accounting of what it costs to stay alive in capitalist America. In essays rife with vivid characters in unforgettable scenes and stitched through with vulnerability\, Maloney offers a clear-eyed assessment of our disastrous medical system. From the years-long medical debt of surviving a suicide attempt to the deadly fate facing untreated pain patients\, Maloney’s writing indicts the system while honoring the humanity of those caught in it. Everyone with a mortal body should read this book. I hope it creates change.” \n—Alex Marzano-Lesnevich\, author of The Fact of a Body \nAbout Cost of Living \nThe searing intimacy of Girl\, Interrupted combined with the uncomfortable truths of The Empathy Exams in a collection of essays chronicling one woman’s experiences as both patient and caregiver\, giving a unique perspective from both sides of the hospital bed. \nWhat does it cost to live? \nWhen we fall ill\, our lives are itemized on a spreadsheet. A thousand dollars for a broken leg\, a few hundred for a nasty cut while cooking dinner. Then there are the greater costs for even greater misfortunes. The car accidents\, breast cancers\, blood diseases\, and dark depressions. \nWhen Emily Maloney was nineteen she tried to kill herself. An act that would not only cost a great deal personally\, but also financially\, sending her down a dark spiral of misdiagnoses\, years spent in and out of hospitals and doctor’s offices\, and tens of thousands owed in medical debt. To work to pay off this crippling burden\, Emily becomes an emergency room technician. Doing the grunt work in a hospital\, and taking care of patients at their most vulnerable moments\, chronicling these interactions in searingly beautiful\, surprising ways. \nShocking and often slyly humorous\, Cost of Living is a brilliant examination of just what exactly our troubled healthcare system asks us to pay\, as well as a look at what goes on behind the scenes at our hospitals and in the minds of caregivers. \nAbout Emily Maloney \nEmily Maloney’s work has appeared in Glamour\, Virginia Quarterly Review\, Best American Essays\, and the American Journal of Nursing\, among others. She has worked as a dog groomer\, pastry chef\, general contractor\, tile setter\, and catalog model and has sold her ceramics at art fairs. Maloney has twice been awarded a MacDowell Fellowship. She lives in Evanston\, Illinois.
