HOW TO TELL WHEN WE WILL DIE On Pain, Disability, and Doom

Disability rights advocate Johanna Hedva performs their essay collection, 10 years in the making. Hedva's observations about society are sharp and insightful. Disability sits at the core of their writing, and they challenge listeners to see it as a social experience, in addition to a biological one. Their essays also tackle other topics, such as Asian American identity, queerness, kink, and what it's like being nonbinary. Hedva's performance, personable and intimate, makes the listener feel as if they are sitting at a live author event. Hedva's narration adds emotional depth, creating a unique listening experience.
