The Vanishing Family: An Evening with Robert Kolker
The Book Stall welcomes bestselling author Robert Kolker for a discussion featuring his new book, The Vanishing Family: Love, Fate, and the Quest to End Dementia.
From the #1 New York Times bestselling author of Hidden Valley Road comes the heart-wrenching journey of a family facing an unthinkable destiny, whose flawed genetic code might hold the long-sought key to a cure for dementia. Moving, intimate, unexpectedly hopeful and redemptive, The Vanishing Family is an enthralling narrative about one family’s fate, and a medical detective story that speaks to all of us who fear losing ourselves at the end. Mr. Kolker will be in-conversation with Alex Kotlowitz. Book Sales and signing to follow the talk.
