BookPaths interview with Abraham Verghese, author of Cutting for Stone

Abraham Verghese's new book and first novel, Cutting for Stone, is an "epic story of life and love." Set primarily in Addis Abbaba, it tells the story of Marion, his extraordinary birth, his youth and adolescence, his fascination with medicine as he becomes a surgeon. The drama, fortune and tragedy of medicine are the vessel of this story, which pours a powerful and complelling reading experience. It's a story that shouldn't be missed.

Listen to Abraham talk about writing this book, and about the meaning of medicine in the story and his life, in this interview with Ron Krall of Off the Beaten Path.

An Interview with Caryn West

Caryn West, author and illustrator of Trouble with the Alphabet, Through the Eyes of Innocence, joined us at Off the Beaten Path for First Friday Artwalk on January 9, 2009. Listen to her speak about her book, and more importantly, her mission.

"The Trouble with the Alphabet reminds us of those who survive with dignity and decency under severe conditions, brutal people and unjust governments. The book even dares to say that one person has the power to make a difference."

- From the Foreword, by Jack Healy
