"At the heart of 'I’m Supposed to Protect You From All This' lie two overlapping mysteries: the mystery of the past, which memory can never accurately conjure, and the mystery of other people, whom you can never truly know." (Katy Waldman, Slate). What mysteries are you compelled to explore? Join "The Art of the Personal Essay" this May with Nadja Spiegelman, author of "I'm Supposed to Protect You From All This," A Vogue Best Book of the Year, and contributing editor of The Paris Review, to workshop the story that only you can tell. https://lnkd.in/gaXemcBG

I’m amazed to see how historical fiction is so relevant to current life, and how much we can learn by delving into history–the truth and the characters that bring it to life.

“The Medieval Constitution of Liberty is ambitious and thought-provoking. It tackles, with erudition, one of the enduring puzzles of modern history—the origins of Western constitutions and norms of liberty. It also wisely rejects both theories that put the strength of the state and elites as the driving force and also those that see a special role for European culture. I recommend this fascinating book strongly.” —Daron Acemoglu, co-author of Power and Progress: Our Thousand-Year Struggle over Technology and Prosperity Available here: https://lnkd.in/e2P2N7wX
