Dear Sugars’ Steve Almond has advice for you: look inward.
Our shift from a culture of character to a cult of personality. We ask MOHAI’s Clara Berg again: is Seattle fashionable? One reporter looks deeply at domestic violence. And high school students take what might be their last stand.
Steve Almond, William Stoner and the Battle for Inner Life
In a bygone era, you might have been cautioned not to judge a book by its cover. But what about now, when our book covers are curated, hashtagged, and Instagram filtered into a seamless projection of a life? We’re missing out, says Steve Almond, on a deeper understanding of our inner landscape. One half of the Dear Sugars podcast, Almond’s latest book is called William Stoner and the Battle for Inner Life.
Clara Berg, Seattle Style
You don’t often use the words “Seattle” and “fashion” in the same sentence. But a new show at MOHAI begs to differ. It’s called Seattle Style: Fashion/Function, and was organized by curator Clara Berg.
Rachel Louise Snyder, No Visible Bruises
Domestic violence is a global epidemic that will affect 1 in 4 women in the US, and 1 in 9 men, and account for 15% of all violent crime in the United States. But you rarely hear about it. Journalist Rachel Louise Snyder is trying to lift that veil. Her new book is No Visible Bruises: What We Don’t Know About Domestic Violence Can Kill Us.
David Hyde, #MyLastShot
Burien High school student Audrey Porter wants to put the press on notice: if she’s ever shot and killed, she wants newspapers to publish photographs of her dead body. It’s part of a student-led social media campaign called #MyLastShot. KUOW's David Hyde has the story.
