Run Towards the Danger Summary

Run Towards the Danger Overview

Canadian actor Sarah Polley composes a dense, sometimes dark memoir in six essays. From experiencing stage fright to surviving sexual assault to recovering from a severe concussion, Polley confronts her demons with strength and tenacity. Her first-person prose is confident and energetic and tackles themes of childhood loss, the responsibilities of adults, the persistence of grief, and the transformative power of memory.
