Another month, another pick for The Stacks Book Club. This month we’re dipping our toe into speculative literary fiction, with The New Wilderness by Diane Cook.
The New Wilderness, which was longlisted for the Booker Prize, is an imaginative novel about a mother, Bea, who uproots her life in an attempt to save her daughter, Agnes, in world that is ravaged by the repercussions of climate change. Cook looks at both the big picture of humanity’s relationship with nature, and at an intimate story of a mother and daughter.
We will be discussing The New Wilderness on Wednesday, February 24th. You can find out who our guest will be by listening to the podcast on February 3rd.
