Jennifer Pastiloff’s On Being Human (Dutton) is an inspirational memoir based on the popular workshop of the same name, about how her years of waitressing taught her to seek out unexpected beauty, how deafness taught her to listen fiercely, how being vulnerable allowed her to find love, and how imperfections can lead to a life full of wild happiness. Exuberant, triumphantly messy, and brave, On Being Human is a celebration and encouragement of happiness and self-realization over darkness and doubt. A book that helps the reader access their own vulnerability, bravery, and humanness. Pastiloff will be joined in conversation by Lidia Yuknavitch, author of The Book of Joan.

Sara Kachelman is the author of an art book, Autopsy of the Sewing Machine, and a story collection, Socratic Wig. She is an MFA candidate at the School of the Art…
