The Wound Is Where the Light Enters: A Memoir of Resilience is the inspiring story of Chris Young, who refused to surrender his future after receiving a life sentence under mandatory drug laws. In prison, Young built his education from scratch, studying philosophy, physics, and more. At his sentencing, his powerful testimony transformed even the judge, who resigned from his lifetime appointment and fought to free him. David Treuer’s The Savage Mind: An American Legacy explores American violence, interweaving memoir, history, and reportage to reveal the wound at the heart of our nation and to offer hope for healing. In the wake of George Floyd’s murder and the January 6 insurrection, Treuer calls for an examination of America, ourselves, and the impulses that seem intent on destroying both. Moderating is writer and critic Jodi-Ann Burey.
