# 2022 National Book Festival: The Power of Laughter with Nuar Alsadir

Taking laughter's revelatory capacity as a starting point, and rooted in Nuar Alsadir's experience as a poet and psychoanalyst, "Animal Joy" seeks to recover the sensation of being present. A bold and insatiably curious prose debut, "Animal Joy" is an ode to spontaneity and feeling alive. Moderated by Steven Leyva.
