We note with great sadness the passing of Tracy Kidder, a Pulitzer Prize–winning writer (The Soul of a New Machine) whose work we have long held in the highest esteem.
His deep belief in narrative enabled him to reveal the essence of human character, engaging, inspiring, and informing across a wide range of issues. At their core, as The New York Times wrote, were “deeply reported books that often focused on heroic goodness in people.”
A short clip from my @AQReview Pièce de Résistance reading: a new poem “On the Mandela Effect” from my forthcoming @AliceJamesBooks collection, The Last Great Adventure Is You (2027).
