SUMMARY:Author Event in partnership with Harvard's Climate Initiative: Rich Marcello - The Means of Keeping
DESCRIPTION:Fivesparks and Harvard’s Climate Initiative present a book talk with local author Rich Marcello about his 6th novel The Means of Keeping. \nThe Means of Keeping is a profound exploration of grief\, friendship\, and the indelible impact of climate change on personal and global scales. Set in a near-future America\, the novel follows Tereza Allard and David Luca\, two lifelong friends in their forties shattered by a climate crisis-induced tragedy that claims the lives of their families. The evolving dynamics between these characters against the pressing issue of climate change provide a rich narrative ground\, exploring the intersections of personal loss\, love\, renewal\, environmental activism\, and the search for meaning in a world on the brink of unrepairable catastrophe. \nWith a narrative style that blends the introspective depth of Kazuo Ishiguro’s works with the environmental consciousness of Barbara Kingsolver\, The Means of Keeping is aimed at readers who appreciate books that not only tell a compelling story but also reflect on the larger issues facing humanity today. With haunting prose and evocative imagery\, the novel challenges us to imagine a future where love\, resilience\, community\, and the fervent desire to protect our planet become the means to reclaim our shared humanity. May our children inherit not only a healthier planet but also an indomitable spirit to prevail against all odds. \nYou can purchase a copy of the book NOW at Fivesparks.  Read it ahead of the event to allow for a richer conversation with Rich about the story and his writing process. A portion of the sales for books purchased at Fivesparks will be generously donated  back to us in support of our programs.  \nSunday\, November 3rd\, 4pm. Free and open to all.
