As we face unprecedented climate challenges, storytelling is one way to examine the ways in which human action–and inaction–impacts the health of our planet. Climate fiction is a growing area of literature, and for this session of Literary Cafe, Julie Carrick Dalton, author of WAITING FOR THE NIGHT SONG, and Erica Ferencik, author of GIRL ON ICE, will be in conversation with Lexington author and host Marjan Kamali to discuss the evolving role of climate in literature, how to find inspiration when dealing with a complicated subject, and the relationship between nature and fiction.
Sponsored by the Cary Library Foundation.
