This riveting autobiography by Jaime Smith, who began his career as an astronomer and then became a psychiatrist, tells the story of a passionate lifelong scholar, activist, motorcycle enthusiast, mountaineer, music lover, and family man. Renouncing his American citizenship for political reasons as a young man, Jaime started his family in Argentina before moving to Canada, where he went to medical school at the University of British Columbia. A lifelong advocate for LGBTQ2 rights, he worked on the front lines of the AIDS crisis in Vancouver as unit director for St. Paul’s hospital and, with his colleagues at the American Psychiatric Association, helped eliminate homosexuality as a form of mental illness. Throughout his rich and adventurous life, he has always sought answers to the classic human questions posed by Paul Gauguin: Where do we come from? Who are we? Where are we going?

Discarded valentines. Ransom notes. To-do lists. Diaries. Homework assignments. A break-up letter written on the back of an airsickness bag. Whether they are found on buses, at stores, in restaurants, waiting rooms, parking lots, or even prison yards, these items give readers an uncensored, poignant, and often hilarious peek into other people's lives. By collecting them in his hit magazine, Found (and its companion website, www.foundmagazine.com), Davy Rothbart has bewitched the nation with a surprising window into its heart and soul and turned his many readers into an army of sharp-eyed finders. Found is chock-full of the latest and greatest of these finds, arranged in the style of the magazine, laying bare the tantalizing tales to be discovered in the trash we toss. By turns heartbreaking and hysterically funny, Found is a mesmerizing tribute to everyday life and our eternal curiosity about our fellow human beings.
