From the National Magazine Awards presentation: "Exiting Nirvana is a strong and affecting profile of an artist with autism, beautifully written by her mother, Clara Claiborne Park...Park is a superb literary stylist whose writing is beautifully understated, with a strong and affecting narrative force...Skillfully weaving in theories of autism with the experience of raising an autistic child, Park goes beyond individual history to address the wider question of what it means to be human".
