At the NYT Sunday Book Review, Cheryl Strayed reviews Andrew McCarthy’s new memoir, The Longest Way Home.
“If I had to cut out the heart of this book, that’s where I’d put the knife, on that boy in the snow on that dark night long ago. It’s an intimate realization that glimmers with universality and sets us up for the question McCarthy grapples with mightily in the course of this engaging debut: How do we manage to nurture our deepest bonds at the same time that we honor our most necessary solitude?”
McCarthy read at our recent New York event and spoke with us about travel, fear, family, and more.
