WAMC@SPAC: "Horse Crazy with Sarah Maslin Nir" Wednesday, August 25 ǀ 7-8:30pm
Nancy DiCresce Room at The Pines@SPAC
WAMC’s Joe Donahue interviews award winning New York Times reporter and Pulitzer Prize finalist Sarah Maslin Nir about her new book Horse Crazy, a memoir that takes readers into the lesser-known corners of the equestrian world, woven through a captivating narrative of her family’s history. She details her father’s harrowing tale of surviving the Holocaust, and describes an enchanted but deeply lonely upbringing in Manhattan, where horses became her family. And she speaks candidly of how horses have helped her overcome heartbreak and loss.
As a staff reporter for The New York Times, Sarah Maslin Nir covers breaking news for the paper’s Metro section. She was a finalist for the 2016 Pulitzer Prize for her investigation into New York City’s nail salon industry that documented the exploitative labor practices and health issues manicurists face. Before becoming a staff member, Ms. Nir traveled to the Alaskan wilderness in search of people who prefer to live in isolation, and to post-earthquake Haiti.
