Our events programming is taking a summer break for August, but we have a full slate of author appearances lined up for September!

On Wednesday, September 9 at 7:00 PM, we're hosting a discussion between two authors on the art of the memoir, and on how memoirs can combat stigma by breaking the silence on topics like infertility and mental health.

Stacey May Fowles' new book is The Lost Season, a memoir exploring infertility, motherhood, mental health, and the work demanded of women. She'll be joined by Miranda Newman, author of Rough Magic: Living with Borderline Personality Disorder. Their conversation will be followed by a Q&A.

Author Introduction Alert!

FINDING ORDER IN DISORDER

Ishaa Vinod Chopra | ईशा विनोद चोपड़ा

Ishaa Vinod Chopra battled bipolar disorder for over a decade. She has also been a victim of domestic abuse in her short-lived marriage. Finding Order in Disorder is a stunning memoir of her experiences battling enormous odds and emerging triumphant. In lucid, simple prose the author addresses what it is like to be diagnosed with bipolar disorder, how it affects interpersonal relationships, and how societal norms influence our understanding of and responses to mental health issues. She also narrates how these traumatic and life- altering experiences have helped her gain insights into life and empowered her to the extent that along with being an early childhood educator, she is now an active campaigner for mental health. With wisdom stemming from first-hand experience, she provides a haunting account of repeated hospitalizations, heavy medication, heartbreak, and discrimination based on diagnosis, while advocating the importance of art therapy, dance, yoga and self-love to cope with mental health issues. Brutally honest and often piercing in its observations, this is a memoir that is both heart-wrenching and inspirational.

Coming up at Caversham: A conversation about trauma, ableism, and coming to terms with disability

Therese Estacion will discuss her new book, Jelly, Baby: Essays on Disability and Vulnerability, with Caversham's own Ben Edelberg. The discussion will be followed by an audience Q&A.

Wednesday, September 16, at 7 pm

This event is free, but please RSVP if you are planning to attend! Calendar link in our bio.

About the book:

"In this revelatory collection of lyrical and poetic essays, Therese Estacion explores vital themes relating to her life as a disabled person....

Inspired by Estacion’s psychotherapy training, this book is a tender examination of some of the most vulnerable aspects of the self, and a head-on challenge of self-loathing. The result is a beautiful and astute meditation on ableism and a transformative journey deep into the psyche."

Mark Solms' latest is in the house.

THE ONLY CURE

Once dismissed as unscientific, psychoanalytic therapy is proving to be among our most effective medical treatments of any kind - outperforming psychiatric drugs and rivalling vaccines in its power to prevent and heal. Why does it work so well?

Perhaps because one of the most controversial figures in psychology was right all along. Neuroscience now confirms much of what Sigmund Freud conjectured over a century ago: our deepest struggles stem not from chemical imbalances, but from buried memories and unconscious conflicts that no pill can touch.

Using enthralling case studies and cutting-edge brain science, pioneering neuroscientist Mark Solms makes the case that psychoanalysis should resume its position as our master theory of the mind. Yet modern research also reveals where Freud got important things wrong. Could correcting these errors make therapy even more effective?

As psychiatric diagnoses soar and standard treatments continue to fail many patients, The Only Cure offers a revolutionary hope: a real science of healing, rooted in the radical idea that our suffering arises from truths we haven't yet faced.

'Breathtakingly revolutionary' NUAR ALSADIR

'A deeply thought-provoking book, written with the kind of care he advocates for his patients' SOPHIE ELMHIRST

'Has the rare quality of being both an act of scholarship and an act of love' KEIRAN GODDARD

'Lucid, confiding, incisive, erudite, and often funny, Solms is the perfect guide' SIRI HUSTVEDT
