	Description:		Leslie Jamison discusses her memoir, The Recovering: Intoxication and Its Aftermath. She tells stories of addiction - both her own and others' - and examines the expectations we have of addiction narratives. She also offers a close look at the larger history of the recovery movement and at the roles that race and class play in our understanding of who is criminal and who is ill. Leslie Jamison will be in conversation with Mitchell S. Jackson on April 3 at 7:30 pm at Brooklyn Academy of Music (Fisher Building, 321 Ashland Pl). Jamison will be in conversation with Greg Pardlo on April 19 at 8 pm at the 92Y (1395 Lexington Avenue). This segment is guest hosted by Jonathan Capehart.
