Since her bestselling memoir Brain on Fire, author and journalist Susannah Cahalan has become a leading voice on the treatment of mental illness in America. Brain on Fire has sold over a million copies, spent 52 weeks on the New York Times bestseller list and was made into a feature film. In her new book, The Great Pretender, Cahalan investigates the story of a distinguished Stanford University psychologist named David Rosenhan who, in the 1970s, organized a study where he and seven other people — sane, normal, well-adjusted members of society — went undercover and had themselves committed to asylums around America to test the legitimacy of psychiatry’s labels.

The Confluence Regional Writers Project is a new program from Shakespeare Festival St. Louis. The goal is to further foster a regional culture of playwriting by providing support to emerging playwrights in St. Louis and its radiating regions through a Playwriting Fellowship, an Emerging Playwrights Cohort, and new plays commissioned and developed by the Festival.

In the first half of the twentieth century, arts of a different nature were on exhibit just blocks from the High Low literary arts cafe. Those sculptures were on wheels and exhibited in stunning commercial architectural framework. They played important parts in the automotive heritage of St. Louis, and their stories are chronicled in the new book, “They Will Run: The Golden Age of the Automobile in St. Louis,” written by Molly Butterworth and Tom Eyssell and released by Reedy Press. This nearly two hundred-page work explores transportation in the St. Louis region from the days of the Mississippian indigenous people through the early twentieth century, when St. Louis was running neck-and-neck with Detroit to be the United States’ premier automotive city, to the Gateway City’s current role in the development and engineering of the cars of tomorrow. During those heydays before the Great Depression, neighboring Locust Street was THE place in town to buy, accessorize, and service your car. Visit us at the High Low and get lost within the pages of “They Will Run: The Golden Age of the Automobile in St. Louis” to travel those roads and days again.
