Alice Wong speaks on the urgency of disability activism at the Humanities Institute – The Statesman

I first read Alice Sebold when I took on “The Lovely Bones.” She then had me reading more of her works. There are very few contemporary writers who have that kind of power over writers. Now out with her next, “The Almost Moon,” Sebold tells the after-tale of a daughter killing her mother.
