Ted Courtemanche reads from and discusses his new memoir, The Philosphy of Rich. The book recounts the long road to understanding and accepting the suicide of the author’s younger brother.

“The philosophy in the book—which runs from Descartes’ thoughts on existence to Hume’s view on personal identity to quantum physics and cosmology—wasn’t written as a way to help me understand the nature of what it means to lose someone so much as a way to help me accept it,” Rich says.

Just wanted to alert you to an error in the listings. I will be reading at McIntyre’s on the 16th, not the 6th of February.

Best,
Debra Dean
