February 2021We Are All Perfectly Fine
A Memoir of Love, Medicine and Healing
by Dr. Jillian Horton
Funny, fresh, and deeply affecting, We Are All Perfectly Fine is the story of a married mother of three on the brink of personal and professional collapse who attends rehab with a twist: a meditation retreat for burnt-out doctors. At first, she is deeply uncomfortable with the spartan accommodation, silent meals, and scheduled bonding sessions. But as this group of wounded healers struggles through awkward first encounters, guided meditation, and breathing exercises, something remarkable happens: World class surgeons, psychiatrists, pediatricians, and general practitioners open up and share stories of the secret guilt and grief they carry, the cases they can’t forget, and their deep-seated fear that they will fall short of the expectations that define them. In this moving memoir that will make you laugh and break your heart in equal measure, Dr. Jillian Horton throws open a window onto the flawed system that shapes medical professionals, the rarely acknowledged stresses that cause doctors to commit suicide at the highest rate of any white collar profession, and the crucial role compassion plays in not only treating others but also in taking care of ourselves.

Literature & Literary StudiesMusic against walls in the Arab-Israeli conflict
by Ana Arambarri
With an agile, precise and sustained style Música Contra los Muros explores the influence of music on the human being in extreme circumstances. Different choral voices immerse the reader in the geopolitical labyrinth of the Middle East and tell a true and little-known story: that of famous musicians who canceled all their commitments and voluntarily traveled to Israel to encourage their compatriots who were fighting at the front. Against this backdrop, suggestive narrative threads are woven: the passionate romance of the pianist Daniel Barenboim with the cellist Jacqueline du Pré during the Six Day War; the account of Israeli soldiers, whose voices were censored for forty years, forced to participate in a war in which they did not believe; or the torn lives of thousands of Palestinians who, since the occupation, lost the right to a decent and dignified life. Hand in hand with a narrative strategy that recalls the New Journalism that emerged in the sixties, a reconciliation proposal is offered: the case of the West-Eastern Divan orchestra, made up of Arab, Israeli and Palestinian musicians, shows that thanks to music, coexistence is possible. Edward Said, a Palestinian thinker and philosopher, asked himself: Who knows how far we are going to be able to change the thoughts and convictions of these young people thanks to music? The energy of this interrogation continues to challenge the possibilities of the present, while confirming the success of an experience as unusual as it is fascinating.
