Join Award-Winning author Caoilinn Hughes for a book reading and conversation on literature in the Anthropocene

The Alternatives begins with a lecture on plate tectonics and interrogates the burdens of building sanctuary in a climate changed world. It was described as a novel of "ferocious intelligence and furious wit" by The Guardian and named one of the best books of the 21st century by The Irish Times.

Hughes is the recipient of the O. Henry Prize, the Moth International Short Story Prize, the Irish Books Awards Story of the Year, a Cullman Center Fellowship at New York
