Join local author Rich Marcello for a sit down interview on his 6th novel The Means of Keeping.

The 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 two lifelong friends shattered by a climate crisis-induced tragedy that claims the lives of their families. The evolving dynamics 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.

Want to read it ahead of time? Copies will be available at the Circulation Desk beginning in December.
