"We All Crave A Sense Of Hope" - Kathryn Schulz

Published: March 18, 2022, 9:01 p.m.

There are a lot of things in life that are difficult to describe. That\u2019s why it can feel so gratifying when someone gives voice to something that we can barely grasp for ourselves. Kathryn Schulz is used to finding the right words. She is a staff writer at The New Yorker and the author of Being Wrong: Adventures in the Margins of Error. She won a National Magazine Award and a Pulitzer Prize in 2015 for \u201cThe Really Big One,\u201d an article about seismic risk in the Pacific Northwest. Her newest book, Lost & Found, applies that precision to the emotional earthquakes of losing her father Isaac, falling in love with her now wife Casey, and the and of life continuing on with both grief and love.\xa0

We talk about the legacy of curiosity and wonder that Kathryn\u2019s father passed down to her, why the word "lost" felt the most apt to her in grief, becoming a parent without her father, and how she continues to find wonder and hope in the world. \xa0
