This darkly satirical drama by Gore Vidal finds two presidential contenders seeking the endorsement of an aging ex-president, and explores how personal agendas can change the course of a nation's destiny. The political intrigues rampant in Vidal's 1960 setting are strangely similar what is going on today. Includes an interview with actors Fred Thompson and Marsha Mason.

Marsha struggled with depressive episodes and anxiety throughout adolescence and at university, but at age thirty, she opened her heart to a different approach: With the understanding that depression and anxiety would always be a part of her, Marsha gave them space. She discovered new ways of perceiving her mental health, embracing acceptance rather than shame and self-love instead of self-hate. From these perspectives she created tools like her “worry waiting room,” learned to speak directly to her intrusive thoughts, and allowed herself grace to tend to her illness as she would any other.

An intimate and compellingly honest memoir of a woman coming into her own after profound pain and grief. Grappling with neglect, eating disorders, domestic violence, single parenthood, and the contagiousness of trauma, The Wrong Calamity is a powerful story of calamity, discovery, and triumph. Marsha, a freshman lacking self-confidence, falls prey to a controlling man at college. Afraid to say no, she agrees to marry him and move to Japan, where she unexpectedly gets a job at Mattel Toys. As she becomes successful, her husband becomes more abusive.
