Event Description:
This talk explores how fiction can illuminate the emotional and societal impacts of climate change, using Lily Brooks-Dalton’s The Light Pirate as a powerful entry point. Blending science with storytelling, it examines the escalating consequences of sea level rise, extreme weather, and community resilience—connecting the novel’s narrative arc with real-world projections, lived experiences, and urgent adaptation efforts.
This program ties in with our 2025 All Urbandale Reads book, "The Light Pirate," but reading the book is not required.
