In the summer of 2019, Ailanthus published a novel about a scientist in the aftermath of a catastrophic pandemic. Less than six months later, life began to imitate art. Join Ailanthus for an online reading from her novel, Ecological Memory, and we’ll discuss the creation of a fictional pandemic and explore the potential of ecology as a source of perspective and hope in the face of loss. There will be a question-and-answer discussion at the end. Participants will also have an opportunity to order signed copies.

Bio:
Caroline Ailanthus is primarily a science writer; even her fiction blends science and story. She
is also the author of the Climate in Emergency blog. Ecological Memory is her second
published novel. She grew up in Delaware and attended various small, odd schools, mostly in
New England, earning BA in Environmental Leadership and an MS in Environmental Studies.
She lives in Maryland with her husband and assorted animals.
