In Leslie Jamison’s The Recovering, she observes: “If addiction stories run on the fuel of darkness—the hypnotic spiral of an ongoing, deepening crisis—then recovery is often seen as the narrative slack, the dull terrain of wellness, a tedious addendum to the riveting blaze.”Jamison joins in conversation with Mary Karr and Elizabeth Crane to speak about the narrative possibilities of recovery and aftermath: How can the story of rebuilding become as riveting as the story of falling apart? The writers will talk about the creative and emotional work of writing from life and the roles that recovery, community, and daily practice play in their writing lives.
