Politics & Prose and Sixth & I present ANDREW SOLOMON
A Columbia professor of psychology and president of PEN American Center, Solomon is best-known as the author of the bestselling FAR FROM THE TREE, winner of the National Book Critics Circle Award, and THE NOONDAY DEMON, winner of the National Book Award. A collection of essays gathered from his writings of the last twenty-five years, this new book, FAR AND AWAY, shifts Solomon's focus slightly from individuals to nations, even as each piece conveys Solomon's signature compassion and remarkable insight. Concentrating on moments of transition, the work constitutes a global look at social change, from the attempted 1991 coup in Russia that failed to reverse Gorbachev's move away from communism, to Afghanistan's post-Taliban efforts to restore its previous culture and society, to Myanmar's slow steps to a more open, democratic system.
