On this episode of On Being, Krista Tippet interviews Minnesota writer Kevin Kling, who shares his own special angle on life's humor and its ruptures.
Born with a partially disabled left arm, in his 40s, Kling then lost the use of his fully functional right one after a motorcycle accident nearly killed him. Being able-bodied, he says, is always only a temporary condition.
Take in his wisdom on the losses we're born with, and the losses we grow into - and why we turn these things into stories.
