The Writer’s Pet: Eva Holland and Nerve
Eva Holland on her Alaskan Husky, Tacoma, and her book, Nerve: Adventures in
the Science of Fear.
No. 3 in the series The Writer’s Pet by Zazie Todd, PhD.
On the way back down the mountain from ice climbing, Eva Holland suddenly finds herself frozen with fear. This experience, and the recent loss of her mother, prompted Holland to write Nerve: Adventures in the Science of Fear, which beautifully pairs personal experience with the science of fear and anxiety. The New York Times described Nerve as “An intimate and wide-ranging look at fears and how we overcome them.” Holland told me about her dog, Tacoma, the benefits of stepping away from the screen for a dog walk, and her approach to writing Nerve.
