Run Towards the Danger Confrontations with a Body of Memory

And it's called Run Towards the Danger. It's full of deeply personal, sometimes really upsetting stories from her life.

I started getting to know you a few months ago. I read your book, Run Towards the Danger, loved it so much that I immediately watched your documentary, loved that so much that I immediately watched Women Talking.

But there's one essay in the book that when I read it, I felt like, well, this is the most important essay I've read in a decade.

If It's Okay, Run Towards the Danger, which by the way, I love that freaking title.

And she's got a new book called Run Toward the Danger in which she explores the relationship between her past and her present and how the two are in constant dialogue.

And this also became the organizing principle of the six essays in her book, All Of Which Confront, which she calls the most dangerous stories of her life.

The connective tissue between the essays was a dialogue that was occurring between the two very different time frames of my life the past was affecting how I moved through the world well present life was affecting how the past moved through me the past and present I have come to realize are in constant dialogue acting upon one another in a kind of reciprocal pressure dance

Run toward the danger is a way of being that I have taken into my life with me a treasure a spell a sword

The book is called Run Towards the Danger and I've made three feature films that are available.
