“Carrying the Tiger” by Tony Stewart Book Launch

The _Carrying the Tiger_ LAUNCH PARTY WILL BE HELD AT NOON ON SATURDAY, May 10, at the BOWERY GALLERY, 547 WEST 27TH ST, SUITE 508, NEW YORK, NY 10001In the spirit of Suleika Jaouad’s _Between Two Kingdoms_ and Joan Didion’s _The Year of Magical Thinking_ comes _Carrying the Tiger: Living with Cancer, Dying with Grace, Finding Joy while Grieving_ , a life-affirming memoir about the full circle of life and death. When Tony Stewart’s wife, Lynn, receives a sudden and devastating diagnosis, their scramble begins to find effective treatment, navigate life-threatening setbacks, learn to live fully in the shadow of death, and, ultimately, share the intimate grace of her departure from this world. After Lynn’s death, Tony slowly climbs out of his shattering grief and, surprisingly, eases toward new love. BOWERY GALLERY was where Lynn had her last few shows and it is a special place for me. I expect that many of her friends will be there. I will read from _Carrying the Tiger_ , answer your questions and sign copies of the book. BRING A COPY WITH YOU if you want me to sign it. No books will be sold at this event.
