National Writers Series: An evening with Lucy Kalanithi

Lucy Kalanithi

When neurosurgeon Paul Kalanithi was diagnosed with cancer, he decided to write a memoir. He didn’t live to see his book “When Breath Becomes Air” published, but it turned into a New York Times number one bestseller.

His widow, Lucy Kalanithi, helped finish the book after Paul couldn’t continue. Doug Stanton talks this hour with Lucy Kalanithi.

Linnaea Melcarek is an independent producer for Interlochen Public Radio.
