Two remarkable essays read aloud by this outspoken, award-winning author: “On Having Adventures” from Nancy Mairs‘ first book Plaintext, and “A Necessary End” from her most recent, A Troubled Guest. These are brave and candid explorations that take up the themes of death and the self with exquisite detail.
