On January 27th, we'll welcome Tad Crawford in person. Tad is a local author. His newest novel is A Woman in the Wild. He is also the author of the novels A Floating Life and On Wine‑Dark Seas as well as The Secret Life of Money (about the spiritual dimensions of money) and a dozen other nonfiction books. The recipient of a National Endowment for the Arts award, he grew up in the artists’ colony of Woodstock, New York, and now lives in Putnam Valley. In addition to speaking of his new novel, Tad—as a lawyer, publisher, and the author of Legal Guide for the Visual Artist and The Writer’s Legal Guide—will be happy to entertain questions about his unusual career trajectory and the business issues facing artists and authors.
If you're interested in psychology, you'll love to hear him talk about A Woman in the Wild or the mythological and spiritual aspects of The Secret Life of Money. As a lawyer and publisher, Tad will also answer questions about his work with and business advice for writers and artists. This informal conversation will take place in the fireplace room and will be streamed on Zoom.
A Woman in the Wild is a revealing and memorable portrait of a woman boldly facing her demons in pursuit of a meaningful life. A psychologist in crisis, she leaves her established practice in the city for an open‑ended retreat in the mountains at the Institute for Healing and Transformation. Feeling lost, betrayed, and stricken by guilt not to have saved her daughter from sexual abuse, she hopes to find a new path to ease her pain and uncertainties.
Soon after her arrival, a “wild” man who roamed the forest with a bear is brought to the institute. When the man is given to her care, she performs a suspenseful balancing as she seeks to heal him as well as herself.
“Rich in insight, A Woman in the Wild is an engrossing story of desire, healing, and the limits of human knowledge. With mindful reflections upon the wilderness in the world and in our hearts, this tale of a psychologist in crisis is immediately and deeply captivating. A marvelous read.” —Ethan Gallogly, author of The Trail: A Novel
