WAMC’s own Joe Donahue interviews award winning New York Times reporter and Pulitzer Prize finalist Sarah Maslin Nir about her new book Horse Crazy, a memoir that takes readers into the lesser-known corners of the equestrian world, woven through a captivating narrative of her family’s history. She details her father’s harrowing tale of surviving the Holocaust, and describes an enchanted but deeply lonely upbringing in Manhattan, where horses became her family and helped her overcome heartbreak and loss. As a staff reporter for The New York Times, Sarah Maslin Nir covers breaking news for the paper’s Metro section. She was a finalist for the 2016 Pulitzer Prize for her investigation into New York City’s nail salon industry that documented the exploitative labor practices and health issues manicurists face. Before becoming a staff member, Ms. Nir traveled to the Alaskan wilderness in search of people who prefer to live in isolation, and to post-earthquake Haiti. Following the live conversation will be an audience Q&A and book signing with the author! A limited number of copies of Horse Crazy will be available for sale on site, but to order a copy prior to the event visit Northshire Bookstore. Please note that seating is very limited. This event is free and pre-registration is required through Eventbrite by August 25 at 11am. PLEASE NOTE: All attendees are required to show proof of having completed their COVID-19 vaccination no sooner than 14 days prior to the event. Acceptable forms of proof include vaccination card, a photo of your vaccination card, or the Excelsior Pass. Any updates to these guidelines will be sent via email.
