Book Launch: Sherry Turkle presents The Empathy Diaries
In conversation with Honor Moore
Sherry Turkle, MIT psychologist and bestselling author of Reclaiming Conversation and Alone Together, reflects on her coming-of-age and path-blazing career in her new memoir, The Empathy Diaries. Turkle charts her interest in empathy across her life, from her turbulent childhood in post-war Brooklyn, to her college days at Radcliffe and in Paris, to her struggles to achieve tenure at MIT as a woman and a humanist, offering a master class in finding meaning through a life's work. For decades, Turkle has shown how we remake ourselves in the mirror of our machines; here, she illuminates our present search for authentic connection in a time of uncharted challenges. Honor Moore, acclaimed author of the memoirs Our Revolution and The Bishop’s Daughter, joins Turkle in conversation at this virtual book launch!
These three authors were launched from situations and families that were out of the ordinary. Poet, playwright, and memoirist Honor Moore, after having written a memoir about her extraordinary father, turns to examining her relationship with her mother in Our Revolution. This mother of nine lived among the poor with Moore’s father, the Archbishop of New York, was a published author and playwright, and died young of cancer while racing to finish a memoir. In My Captain America, Megan Margulies writes lovingly about her close and formative relationship with her grandfather, the man who created the superhero comic Captain America. And Mikel Jollett, frontman for the indie band Airborne Toxic Event, describes in Hollywood Park a harrowing childhood in a cult where he barely knew his parents until the day his mother arrived to rescue him and his brother. Richard Hoffman, author of the poetry collection Noon Until Night and the memoirs Half the House and Love & Fury, hosts this session.
