City of Incurable Women: A Book Talk with Maud Casey and Kerry Folan
Friday, October 28, 2022 @ 6:00 pm - 8:00 pm
The Academy Art Museum and Shore Lit present acclaimed author Maud Casey in conversation with Shore Lit founder Kerry Folan about Casey’s latest book, City of Incurable Women. This hybrid text, which is braided with period photographs and medical documents, reimagines the “hysterical” women of Paris’s famed nineteenth-century Salpêtrière mental asylum in their own shimmering, lyrical voices.
