Far From the Tree
with Andrew Solomon
Solomon’s startling proposition in Far
from the Tree is that being exceptional is at the core of the human
condition—that difference is what unites us. He writes about families coping
with deafness, dwarfism, Down syndrome, autism, schizophrenia, or multiple
severe disabilities; with children who are prodigies, who are conceived in
rape, who become criminals, who are transgender. Solomon documents triumphs of
love over prejudice in every chapter.
