 door, benefits KPFA Radio 94.1FM \n\nGun Island is a globetrotting, 
 folkloric adventure novel about family, beautifully written, that  tells 
 the story of a world on the brink, of increasing displacement and 
 unstoppable transition.  It is exactly what is needed. It is also a story 
 of hope, of a man whose faith in the world and the future is restored by 
 two remarkable women.\n\nAmitav Ghosh, an Indian writer and winner of the 
 54th Jnanpith Award, is the author of the bestselling Ibis Trilogy, which 
 includes Sea of Poppies (short-listed for the 2008 Man Booker Prize), River 
 of Smoke, and Flood of Fire. Elected a Fellow of the Royal Society of 
 Literature and a Ford Foundation Art of Change Fellow, in 1999 Ghosh joined 
 the faculty at Queens College, City University of New York as Distinguished 
 Professor in Comparative literature.  Ghosh's notable non-fiction writings 
 are In an Antique Land (1992), Dancing in Cambodia and at Large in Burma 
 (1998), Countdown (1999), and The Imam and the Indian (2002, a large 
 collection of essays on different themes such as fundamentalism, history of 
 the novel, Egyptian culture, and literature). His most-recent non-fiction 
 book The Great Derangement: Climate Change and the Unthinkable (2016) 
 bravely addresses why modern literature has failed to address issues of 
 climate change, and how radical transformation due to nature has become 
 'unthinkable'.\n\nVijaya Nagarajan, an Associate Professor in the 
 Department of Theology/Religious Studies and in the Program of 
 Environmental Studies at the University of San Francisco, writes about 
 Hinduism, gender, ritual, ecology and the commons.\n\n$12 advance, $15
