Our April 2018 Narrative Medicine Rounds, welcomed the novelist Richard Ford, who speaks about his memoir, " Between them: Remembering my Parents," published in 2017 by The Ecco Press. Mr. Ford, the Emmanuel Roman and Barrie Sardoff Roman Professor of the Humanities, has been teaching at Columbia University's School of the Arts since 2012. For Mr. Ford, whose 1995 novel Independence Day, was the first book to receive both the Pulitzer Prize and the Pen/Faulkner Award, the questions of what his parents dreamed of, how they loved each other and loved him became a striking portrait of American life in the mid-century in Between Them. Bringing his candor, wit and intelligence to his most intimate and mysterious of landscapes- our parents' lives- he delivers an exploration of memory, intimacy and love.
