We are thrilled to share that one of our Catwalk alumni, Francesca Spiegel, has just had a new essay titled "Prozac Nation, Revisited," published in the literary magazine Hobart. This insightful piece, which began taking shape during her residency at Catwalk, explores the profound impact of a brief acquaintance with the late Elizabeth Wurtzel, author of Prozac Nation, and reflects on the butterfly effect such encounters can have on our lives.

The essay delves into the complexities of adjusting to life in America, the ongoing struggles many face with Prozac, and the significance of Wurtzel's memoir as it marks its 30th anniversary. Francesca has graciously acknowledged Catwalk Institute in a note at the end of the essay, and we are honored to have played a small role in the creative process behind this work.
