Born with a rare congenital condition called sacral agenesis which affects both her stature and gait, her pain is physical. Jones learned early on to factor “pain calculations” into every plan, every situation. “I am in a bar in Brooklyn, listening to two men, my friends, discuss whether my life is worth living.” So begins Chloé Cooper Jones’s bold, revealing account of moving through the world in a body that looks different than most. The event will take place from 4:00 to 5:15pm in the Rifkind Center (NAC 6/316). Jones’s book will be available for purchase at a discounted price for those who attend. The discussion will be followed by a Q&A and book signing with the author. On Thursday, March 30, author Chloe Cooper Jones will read from her latest book Easy Beauty in a collaborated event presented by the CCNY MFA in Creative Writing and the Department of Philosophy. André Aciman, author of Call Me By Your Name

Geoff Dyer’s latest book, The Last Days of Roger Federer is an examination of endings through the lenses of Bob Dylan, Beethoven, Burning Man, and much more besides. ‘Even with no idea of where, when, or how things might end up it was time to start work-on a book that ended up being written while life as we know it came to an end.’ Geoff Dyer Author and RSL Fellow Geoff Dyer is joined by Chloé Cooper Jones to discuss sporting matches and everyday battles failure and triumph what it means and what it takes to live life to the full, and when and how to bow out.
