Rachel Aviv’s STRANGERS TO OURSELVES was selected as one of The New York Times’ “10 Best Books of 2022.” They praise it as a “rich and nuanced book,” adding: “[Aviv’s] personal history made her especially attuned to how stories can clarify as well as distort what a person is going through. This isn’t an anti-psychiatry book — Aviv is too aware of the specifics of any situation to succumb to anything so sweeping. What she does is hold space for empathy and uncertainty, exploring a multiplicity of stories instead of jumping at the impulse to explain them away.” Farrar, Straus and Giroux published the book on September 13, 2022.
