Join us for a reading with Fábio Zuker for his translated book of essays The Life and Death of a Minke Whale in the Amazon: Dispatches from the Brazilian Rainforest, translated by Ezra Fitz. Zuker immerses himself in the Indigenous communities experiencing the destructive effects of deforestation, predatory farming companies, and water pollution—sharing their stories of resilience and resistance as they fight to save their homeland. Zuker will be in conversation with Jordan Salama, author of Every Day the River Changes: Four Weeks Down the Magdalena.
