BARRY LOPEZ Friday, March 22, 7pm
From the National Book Award-winning author of the now-classic Arctic Dreams, comes a vivid, poetic, capacious work that recollects his travels around the world and the encounters—human, animal, and natural—that have shaped his extraordinary life. Join Barry Lopez as he introduces Horizon.
A Free Event at Village Books in Fairhaven!
Taking us nearly from pole to pole—from modern mega-cities to some of the most remote regions on the earth—and across decades of lived experience, Lopez, hailed by the Los Angeles Times Book Review as "one of our finest writers," gives us his most far-ranging yet personal work to date, in a book that moves indelibly, immersively, through his travels to six regions of the world: from Western Oregon to the High Arctic; from the Galápagos to the Kenyan desert; from Botany Bay in Australia to finally, unforgettably, the ice shelves of Antarctica. Horizon is a revelatory, epic work that voices concern and frustration along with humanity and hope—a book that makes you see the world differently, and that is the crowning achievement by one of America's great thinkers and most humane voices.
