Rachel Aviv explores the complexity of this relationship in seven essays, six originally published in The New Yorker and reconceived for this intimate, revelatory book. “I wrote some of these stories feeling, existentially, like a daughter, and now I have returned to them with a different identification,” Aviv writes. “It was as if I had failed to see the drama on the mother’s side, too—her particular longings and humiliations and needs.”Rachel Aviv is a staff writer at The New Yorker, where she writes about psychology, medical ethics, and criminal justice, among other subjects. She is a finalist for the Pulitzer Prize in Feature Writing and the winner of a George Polk Award and a National Magazine Award. Her 2022 book, Strangers to Ourselves, a finalist for the National Book Critics Circle Award, was a New York Times bestseller. She lives in Brooklyn, New York. Christine Smallwood is the author of The Life of the Mind and La Captive. - **Event URL**: https://allevents.in/new-york/rachel-aviv-christine-smallwood-you-wont-get-free-of-it/100001990915237068 - **Event Categories**: art, literary-art, performances, theatre, entertainment - **Interested Audience**: - total_interested_count: 0 - **Event Highlights**: - door_time: 2026-07-07T22:30:00Z - Duration: 1 hour - Location: Strand Book Store - Languages: English ## Ticket Details - **Ticket Price Range**: min: 13.61, max: 36.83, currency: USD ## Event venue details - **city**: New York - **state**: NY - **country**: United States - **location**: Strand Book Store - **lat**: 40.73325150000001 - **long**: -73.99095319999999 - **full address**: Strand Book Store, 828 Broadway, New York, United States ## Event gallery - **Alt text**: Rachel Aviv + Christine Smallwood: You Won't Get Free of It - **Image URL**: https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events6/banners/aa4c13b83786abe931d5f324ff0ae428a041c4adbd47f8a53acd9a10af4ba59f-rimg-w1200-h628-dcdf1931-gmir.png?v=1781201726 ## FAQs - **Q**: When and where is Rachel Aviv + Christine Smallwood: You Won't Get Free of It being held? - **A:** Rachel Aviv + Christine Smallwood: You Won't Get Free of It takes place on Tue, 07 Jul, 2026 at 07:00 pm to Tue, 07 Jul, 2026 at 08:00 pm at Strand Book Store, 828 Broadway, New York, United States. - **Q**: Who is organizing Rachel Aviv + Christine Smallwood: You Won't Get Free of It? - **A:** Rachel Aviv + Christine Smallwood: You Won't Get Free of It is organized by The Strand Book Store. - **Q**: Who is this event for?

Our founder Benjamin Bass was all of twenty-five years old when he began his modest used bookstore and sought to create a place where books would be loved, and book lovers could congregate. Ninety years and a move over to Broadway, the Strand is still run by the Bass Family and is home to four floors of over 2.5 million used, new, and rare books, a wide array of bookish gifts, and fun literary events held almost every night of the week. From the dollar carts outside to the Rare Book Room on the third floor, and cheeky graffiti-ing throughout the store courtesy of Steve “EPSO” Powers, the iconic store now stands testament a place for book lovers to explore." } ] } ] ```
