Arboreality

Campbell, Rebecca, 1975-2022
Books
"A novella-length expansion of the 2020 Theodore Sturgeon Memorial Award winning short story "An Important Failure," Arboreality is an intergenerational and interconnected story about the desettlement of British Columbia after climate change intensifies floods and wildfires. A professor in pandemic isolation rescues books from the flooded and collapsing McPherson Library. A man plants fireweed on the hillside of his depopulated Vancouver Island suburb. An aspiring luthier poaches the last ancient Sitka spruce to make a violin for a child prodigy. Campbell's astonishing vision pulls the echoing effects of small acts and intimate moments through this multi-generational and interconnected story of how a West coast community survives the ravages of climate change."--
