#Yaddo Reads: "This is a curious moment for a much-hailed book about the odd-duck enterprise of psychoanalysis to arrive on our shores — if only because we live, it may fairly be said, in post-psychoanalytic times." --Daphne Merkin, YR 1981

In turbulent times, we return to art — a book that made us laugh, a movie scene that we can recite by heart, a performance that reminds us to breathe again. At #Yaddo, we believe art doesn’t just enrich life — it saves us. What work has carried you through a challenging moment? Share it with us!
