Book Discussion | Critic Discusses His New Biography/Memoir/Cultural History Book, The Death of the Clinic (In Person AND Online!)


To mark the launch The Death of the Clinic: Radical Experiments in the Art of Medicine, author Benoit ... more >> Loiseau discusses the book with Emily Apter. Weaving together biography, memoir and cultural history, The Death of the Clinic is a groundbreaking exploration of five experimental clinics in recent Western history: a sex clinic housed in a stately mansion in Weimar Berlin; a preventive health centre in pre-NHS London; a post-war institute of psychiatry in a French chateau; a feminist health centre in 1970s Geneva; and a grassroots research initiative run by and for people with AIDS in New York. Each of these clinics emerged in response to seismic political shifts and era-defining global events. Yet at their heart lie the stories of extraordinary individuals who dared to reimagine how we care for one another. Reframing Michel Foucault's seminal book, Loiseau's The Death of the Clinic is a radical invitation to rethink the clinic - not as a fixed institution but as a living, evolving practice rooted in care, resistance, and collective imagination.

At the heart of Boy from the North Country is a question that confronts us all: How well can we ever know the people who made us?

Sussman will discuss the stories families tell, the stories they conceal, and the role of fiction in helping us understand both. The evening also explores the creative process behind transforming deeply personal questions into a work of resonant and emotionally powerful literature.
