Description

Please join Evanston authors Emily Maloney and Susannah Pratt in the Bookends & Beginnings courtyard for a timely conversation about cost, value, and the larger systems that set their terms.

If you want a personalized dedication, enter your desired inscription in the "Notes" field when you place the order. The New York Times praises Emily Maloney's debut essay collection, Cost of Living, as "astute, compassionate and lethally funny." Maloney's tale of hospitalization and crippling medical debt explores "the complex intersections of money, illness and medicine." Susannah Pratt's More or Less: Essays from a Year of No Buying documents her family’s experiment in buying nothing nonessential. Eula Biss writes that, “The resulting meditation on want, need, excess, and garbage asks profound questions about waste, time, and the lost art of thrift.”
