Our guest is writer and philosopher Chloe Cooper Jones, author of the memoir Easy Beauty. Jones was born with sacral agenesis, a rare congenital condition that affects her gait and her stature. In Easy Beauty, she details how that informs her experience of the world – and delivers a powerful philosophical examination of how society thinks about beauty. Jones is a contributing writer at the New York Times Magazine, and was a Pulitzer Prize finalist in 2000 for her profile of Ramsey Orta, the man who filmed the killing of Eric Garner, as well as in 2023 for Easy Beauty. On April 26, 2024, Jones came to the Sydney Goldstein Theater in San Francisco for an onstage conversation with Catherine Lacey.
