SUMMARY:VIRTUAL AUTHOR Dystopian Tropes from an Indigenous Perspective: In Conversation with Waubgeshig Rice
DESCRIPTION:You’re invited to a riveting conversation with bestselling 
 author Waubgeshig Rice to chat about his newest book Moon of the Turning 
 Leaves\, the hotly anticipated sequel to the bestselling novel Moon of the 
 Crusted Snow.\n\nIt’s been over a decade since a mysterious cataclysm 
 caused a permanent blackout that toppled infrastructure and thrust the 
 world into anarchy. Evan Whitesky led his community in remote northern 
 Ontario off the rez and into the bush\, where they’ve been living off the 
 land\, rekindling their Anishinaabe traditions in total isolation from the 
 outside world.\n\nAs new generations are born\, and others come of age in 
 the world after everything\, Evan’s people are in some ways stronger than 
 ever. But resources in and around their new settlement are beginning to dry 
 up\, and the elders warn that they cannot afford to stay 
 indefinitely.\n\nEvan and his fifteen-year-old daughter\, Nangohns\, are 
 elected to lead a small scouting party on a months-long trip to their 
 traditional home on the north shore of Lake Huron—to seek new beginnings 
 and discover what kind of life—and what dangers—still exist in the 
 lands to the south.\n\nMoon of the Turning Leaves is Rice’s exhilarating 
 return to the world first explored in the phenomenal breakout bestseller 
 Moon of the Crusted Snow: a brooding story of survival\, resilience\, 
 Indigenous identity\, and rebirth. Register now for a thrilling 
 conversation!\n\nAbout the Author:  Waubgeshig Rice is an author and 
 journalist originally from Wasauksing First Nation. His books include the 
 Independent Publishers Book Award-winning short story collection Midnight
