Join long-time New Yorker journalist Rachel Aviv, renowned for her in-depth reporting on topics ranging from police shootings in Albuquerque to the complex case of neonatal nurse Lucy Letby.

Strangers to Ourselves, centred around five people’s psychiatric testimonies and Aviv’s own childhood, explores how society and storytelling shape our experience of mental illness.

A remarkable book, it treats the human mind with the subtlety, complexity, and care it deserves.

Chaired by Maddison Connaughton.
