Join us for Future Present Book Club with Flying Books author Tomas Hachard!
Does the future seem closer than it used to? Does what seemed unimaginable feel as though it's uncannily creeping into the present? What does that mean for how we live today - or tomorrow?
First up, we're reading beloved author Rebecca Solnit's newest essay collection .
Included in the price of admission:
One beverage (glass of wine/cocktail/mocktail/matcha)
One 20.00 book credit, usable for that night only
An evening of literary discussion, moderated by Flying Books author Tomas Hachard.
About the book:
In the spirit of her bestselling book Hope in the Dark, Rebecca Solnit explores how our actions can shape the future and the liberatory possibilities of embracing uncertainty. Beginning with an essay about a three-hundred-year-old violin and what it can tell us about forests, abundance, and climate, and ending with on about a prisoner dreaming of seeing the ocean, No Straight Road Takes You There deftly bridges the political and the literary, offering unique insights, nuanced understanding, and inspiration for the challenging work ahead. In her latest essay collection, the award-winning author explores climate change, feminism, democracy, hope, and power and its abuse.
