In this episode, Erin and Elizabeth talk with Pulitzer Prize-winning writer Kathryn Schulz, staff writer at The New Yorker and author of the new bestselling memoir Lost & Found - in paperback 11/22 - which has been longlisted for The National Book Award and the Andrew Carnegie Medal, and has been called a best book of the year by NPR and the New York Times. Lost & Found grew out of “Losing Streak,” a New Yorker piece that was anthologized in The Best American Essays about the paradox of loss—from keys, to memories, to dads; and the joy of finding something—from language, to love. Between love and loss, we find that the "and" of life matters too. Kathryn tells us about her larger-than-life father Isaac, an attorney and Renaissance man who came to the US as a child and Jewish refugee, spoke at least 5 languages fluently, taught, philosophized, mentored, and generally spread the love to his family and all who knew him, and died in 2016. In a wide-ranging conversation, Kathryn talks about the boredom of grief and the beauty of sorrow, her future wife's first meeting with her dad so soon after their own accidental love story, and what surprises her about the intersection of the scientific and the spiritual.
