Feb 5: NYC Talk on Unstrange Minds

What does a father do when his two-year-old is diagnosed with a
mysterious illness he knows nothing about?

He learns all there is to know about the illness; he fights so his
child receives the best services and support; and---if you are a
father and a highly regarded anthropologist like Roy Richard
Grinker---you travel abroad studying in other countries/cultures and
develop an improved understand of the illness, and, along the way,
discover a new humility in the face of this challenge.

Roy Richard Grinker will talk and sign copies of

UNSTRANGE MINDS: Remapping the World of Autism
(forthcoming February 1, 2007) in New York City
Monday, February 5 at 7pm.

at
MO PITKIN'S HOUSE OF SATISFACTION/UPSTAIRS
Talk/Signing
34 Avenue A
New York, NY (between 2nd and 3rd Streets)
