Nathaniel Rich with Claire Vaye Watkins
Two years after his well-received first book on climate change - Losing Earth: A Recent History - and novels preceding that, Nathaniel Rich is virtually back with a new work of ‘post-natural world’ ecological writing, Second Nature: Scenes from a World Remade (MCD/FSG).
"Rich's elegy to a planet he likens to a critical care patient is lyrical, erudite, and devastating...[His] investigation of "crimes against nature" and the people who are trying to stop them is alarming, enlightening, and necessary." —O Magazine.
"[A] vividly reported survey . . . Frightening but with an undercurrent of humor, Rich's study is packed with moving insight." —Publishers Weekly.
With Nathaniel Rich in conversation will be Claire Vaye Watkins, author of the brilliant book of stories, Battleborn: Stories, Gold Fame Citrus; and whose next book is eagerly awaited.
