# 2023 National Book Festival: Making Peace With a Stutter with John Hendrickson

John Hendrickson, a staff writer at The Atlantic, published an article in 2019 about Joe Biden's stuttering and his own. "Life on Delay" is the memoir born from that article; in it, Hendrickson writes openly about the isolation, bullying, substance abuse and depression stutterers face, making this book a vivid account of squaring up past and present lives. Moderated by NPR's Steve Inskeep.
