In November 2010, on the morning after election day, Mirsky lost her three-year-old son, Lev. In the year that followed, she produced a profound and provocatively humorous body of work--tackling extreme loss as well as divorce, friendship, dating, sex, comedy, and art making, all while continuing her day job as a family liaison at the same children's hospital where Lev died. Every November, the anniversary of Lev's loss aligns with the churn of the election cycle.

A decade later, we find Mirsky in the heart of a different crisis: supervising COVID vaccine distribution in the polarized political climate of Austin, Texas. In "An Addendum," she turns again to themes of grief and healing, this time on a societal scale, as she reckons with the tenth anniversary of Lev's passing. Through her un-extraordinary story of extraordinary loss, Mirsky offers proof that there is an afterward to grief.
