Language: English. Brand new Book. "I think you have to have a style to finish your life." The words above by New York Times writer Anatole Broyard awaken us to the significance of developing a distinctive style in relation to life's uncertainties. As Broyard was struggling with late-stage cancer, he wrote his final book, Intoxicated By My Illness (1993). Broyard says "Adopting a style for your illness is another way of meeting it on your own grounds, of making it a mere character in you narrative." He adds, "Stories are antibodies against illness and pain." Broyard's remarks, especially in light of the medical condition he faced, broadened my perspective of resilience in the face of suffering. The notion of creating one's own style brings us to our book 36 Hats. A cynic might ask, "So what's the big deal about hats anyway?" The individual characteristics of hats intrigue me, particularly in the way they enhance the style of the person. A next question could be "Why the number 36 and not 37 or 35?" It was following a rainstorm in Chicago that I saw a reflection of the 36 Broadway Bus in a pool of water on the street. The reflection spoke to me of the possibility that the number 36 could be seen as emblematic of the various passengers, over time, that travelled this route to connect to their next destination. Shortly afterwards, in a conversation with my father, coincidentally I learned that my parents had recently rediscovered my grandfather's hat and placed it in a special location of the house to feel closer to him. My father remarked that "looking at the hat was like being with Ben." After fleeing dangers in Russia, Ben arrived in New York as a refugee, immediately going to work without having time to study. Eventually, Ben worked his way up to opening a children's tailoring store, but with the emergence of large-scale competitors the store could no longer survive. However, before closing the store, Ben ensured that each employee found a new job. Perhaps Ben's hat carries those values and the genuine concern he had for others, bringing his own style and ever-presence to the hat. We hope that you enjoy this journey and the following interview with art therapist Lee Sze-Chin, who integrates new technologies to therapeutically support seniors.
