Rosie Schaap on her transformational move to Ireland, and writing her memoir, The Slow Road North.
Rosie Schaap, author of The Slow Road North: How I Found Peace in an Improbable Country, shares her experience of moving from Brooklyn to a tiny Irish village after losing both her husband and mother, and how Ireland's rugged beauty helped to transform her grief. This heartfelt conversation explores resilience, reinvention, and finding laughter in the shadows of loss.
Rosie is the author of Drinking With Men, named one of 2013’s best books by Library Journal and NPR. A columnist for The New York Times Magazine from 2011 to 2017, she has
also written for the paper’s book review, dining, opinion, sports, and travel sections, Food & Wine, Lucky Peach, and Saveur, among other publications. She is a contributor to This American Life, and her essays have appeared in many anthologies.
Born and raised in New York City, Rosie now lives in the Glens
of Antrim in Northern Ireland, a terrifically beautiful place you should visit sometime. She enjoys the robins and blackbirds in her backyard, walking in the forest, reading, feeding her friends (and sometimes strangers) the things she
cooks, teaching, and traveling. She would also probably like writing or editing for your magazine or newspaper, consulting on your manuscript or book proposal, or being graced by your presence in one of her online classrooms.
