"July 4, 2026, will mark the 250th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence," @beverlygage writes. "So far, the semiquin is shaping up as an embarrassingly accurate reflection of America’s identity crisis."

In two years, the U.S. will mark its 250th birthday, and the left doesn’t seem to care—giving up on America’s symbols and its very meaning.

An absolutely urgent, necessary read especially for those in medicine, history, & medical humanities.@beverlygage has written a powerful & poignant narrative about her genetic mutation with a historian’s distance and an autobiographer’s intimacy.

Medical researchers find my genetic mutation endlessly fascinating. But being unique isn’t a plus when you’re a patient.

I've never published a personal essay before. But I had a bit of time once I finished writing about J. Edgar Hoover, so I tried to make sense of my own experience.
“As a historian and a biographer, I am used to conducting research, examining other people’s lives,” Beverly Gage writes. When she learned she had a novel genetic mutation—the first of its kind—she became the research subject instead.

wow—thank you!
I never thought it possible to call a 36-hour audiobook “riveting,” but by golly @beverlygage’s Hoover bio was exactly that. I was looking for excuses to drive so I could listen to more. One of the best bios I’ve ever read, & a phenomenal history of the twentieth century.
