Join Diesel, A Bookstore on Tuesday February 6th at 6:30 pm as we welcome Manjula Martin to the store to discuss and sign The Last Fire Season. Joining her in conversation will be Antoine Wilson.

Told in luminous, perceptive prose, The Last Fire Season is a deeply incisive inquiry into what it really means—now—to live in relationship to the elements of the natural world. When Manjula Martin moved from the city to the woods of Northern California, she wanted to be closer to the wilderness that she had loved as a child. She was also seeking refuge from a health crisis that left her with chronic pain, and found a sense of healing through tending her garden beneath the redwoods of Sonoma County. But the landscape that Martin treasured was an ecosystem already in crisis. Wildfires fueled by climate change were growing bigger and more frequent: each autumn, her garden filled with smoke and ash, and the local firehouse siren wailed deep into the night.

This event is free to attend and will be held in the Lower Courtyard near DIESEL, A Bookstore at the Mart.
