Sam Lansky + Aaron Hicklin

In the tradition of Elizabeth Wurtzel and Augusten Burroughs, Sam Lansky’s debut memoir, The Gilded Razor, tells a story of chaotic addiction, botched recovery, self-harm, self-doubt and transcendence. His promising young life torn to shreds by prescription painkillers and a reckless romantic life, Lansky found himself sloughing off a dangerous overdose, in need of serious help–but the stations on his road to recovery only provided him with new stages on which to act out. The Gilded Razor is an unsparing plunge into a heedless young mind, one that spans the country and the internal life of a young man refusing, and finally assenting, to know himself.

Sam will be joined in conversation by Aaron Hicklin, editor-in-chief of Out Magazine.
