Andrew Solomon: Far and Away

Written over 25 years and spanning seven continents, Andrew Solomon’s latest book, "Far and Away: Reporting from the Brink of Change," explores moments of enormous cultural transition. Based on personal experiences on the barricades in Moscow, observing the rebirth of Afghan culture amidst the fall of the Taliban, and elsewhere, National Book Award-winning author Solomon brings his signature style—impassioned, direct, informed—to the universal human experience of change.
