How do stories shape our past, present, and future? Author Andrew Krivak will take up this question when he discusses writing The Bear. Krivak will talk about his desire to write a novel in which Nature serves as a protagonist, and how living in New Hampshire’s Monadnock region brought that vision to life. He will discuss how he conceived of and composed The Bear and reflect on how re-orienting our view of the environment, understanding Nature as a character, can shape the way we perceive a changing world on the personal, the local, and the planetary level. 

This event will take place in person at the Bank of NH Stage in Concord and will be livestreamed on Zoom.  For more information and to register, please visit the NH Humanities website.
