The project:

All Freud's Children is a group biography of noteworthy psychoanalysts and their children—beginning with Sigmund and Anna Freud—that traces some of the most significant contributions of psychoanalysis back to their intimate origins. Framed by personal reflections from the author’s own experience of being raised by analysts, it examines how the home lives of these thinkers—including the development and inner lives of their children—shaped the theories that made them famous.

The project:

Frailties is a biography in essays of Edgar Allan Poe that approaches a risky degree of intimacy with its subject. Tracing the mark his life and work left on notable admirers, including Charles Baudelaire, Marie Bonaparte, and Julio Cortázar, Frailties also contemplates how Poe intertwines with the mind of the author herself and helps us navigate the darkness we all share.

The project:

The influence of asset managers and private equity firms stretches across the globe and into the very foundations of our societies. Diminishing Returns takes a close look at what happens when your elderly parents’ retirement home, the nursery where you drop your children, or the company that pipes water into your kitchen is taken over by an increasingly intricate and deregulated industry, and profiles the hidden figures who are reshaping our economies and our lives.
