You Are Invited To a Special Evening…
Tuesday, October 18th, 2011
7:00 PM TO 9:00 PM
Donnelley Film Theatre
Heimbold Visual Arts Center
Sarah Lawrence College
Bronxville, New York
Meet Neil Selinger through his stunning perceptions of a life
course that was unexpected, unwelcome and amazingly
transforming. During the last ten months of his life, his body
immobilized by Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS) this
retired 57-year-old lawyer and writer showed what one man
could do to tell his story. Selinger, who developed ALS just as
he was beginning a second career as a writer, lost his
speaking voice and his ability to move. But he relied on
computer-assisted technology and the commitment of Dr.
Dana Gage to craft his words into an inspiring and thought-provoking book and series of
essays. A physician and a Master’s Candidate in Narrative Medicine at Columbia
University, Gage was the perfect collaborator.
---------
Meet Dr. Dana Gage on Tuesday, October 18 and share in this amazing
collaborative experience. Dr. Gage will talk about their work together and read
from Selinger’s essays about living with ALS. This special evening is sponsored by
the joint efforts of the MAC Angels Foundation, the Westchester End of Life Coalition,
the Health Advocacy Program at Sarah Lawrence College, the Writing Institute at Sarah
Lawrence College and the Program in Narrative Medicine at Columbia University.
Admission is free and open to the public; however, pre-event registration is
