Book Launch: Darcey Steinke presents This Is the Door: The Body, Pain, and Faith
In conversation with Ada Calhoun
Food and wine reception to follow
Acclaimed local author Darcey Steinke (Flash Count Diary) returns to Greenlight to launch her new book This is the Door, which explores the world of pain for those who suffer and those who love them. One-fifth of Americans live in chronic pain, and pain in some form—chronic or temporary, corporal or emotional—is a state we will all endure. In chapters that trace the body—The Spine, The Heart, The Knees, and more—Steinke gets to the heart of pain through history, philosophy, religion, pop culture, and reporter human experience, with her usual brilliance, humor, and empathy. Local New York Times–bestselling author Ada Calhoun (Crush) joins Steinke for a discussion on pain and its myriad effects, before an audience Q&A and signing.t
