Harold Wilson's guest is New Yorker staff writer Kathryn Schulz. We discuss her new memoir Lost & Found. This is the first of a two-part interview with Kathryn Schulz. Part two will be aired next week. In 2016 Schulz won the Pulitzer Prize and a National Magazine Award for her article “The Really Big One,” detailing the seismic risk in the Pacific Northwest. Lost & Found, Kathryn Schulz's second book, is a very personal and beautifully written account of life’s inherent contradictions explored through the experience of loss, what it means to “find,” and the “and” that connects all things and points to the future. This week she talks primarily about loss and her meeting with C. C. is the woman with whom Schulz fell in love and to whom she is now married. She and C. live on the Eastern Shore.
Next week the discussion continues with part two of the discussion. Schulz talks about her relationship with C. and what it means to find someone very special in your life. The conversation also explores the interconnected nature of life in the context of love and how one faces with equanimity and grace the great contradictions of life.
