DESCRIPTION:Celebrate the paperback release of The Last Fire Season with author Manjula 
 Martin, in conversation with Lauren Markham, writer and reporter and author 
 of Immemorial.\n\n\nJoin us in the showroom of Artefact Design & Salvage in 
 downtown Sonoma for a thoughtful and inspiring literary conversation 
 between Sonoma County author Manjula Martin and writer and reporter Lauren 
 Markham.\n\nThe event celebrates the paperback release of The Last Fire 
 Season: A Personal and Pyronatural History, a critically acclaimed memoir 
 of the 2020 Walbridge Fire and its far-reaching implications for our 
 landscape and the future.  This vivid yet contemplative book describes the 
 now-familiar experience of wildfire and its emotional impacts and the way 
 we are all learning to accept its presence as part of our "new normal" in 
 California.\n\nThe book is a love letter to the landscapes of the American 
 West as it follows the author from the oak woodlands of Sonoma County to 
 the redwood groves of coastal Santa Cruz to the pines and peaks of the 
 Sierra Nevada as she seeks shelter and tries to better understand fire's 
 elemental roles in ecology and culture.\n\nThe discussion will also touch 
 on the need to combine personal narrative with reporting as we all shape 
 new stories about the current era.\n\nManjula and Lauren will each do short 
 readings followed by a conversation and audience Q&A.\n\nA wine reception 
 and book signing will follow the presentation.  Refreshments are included 
 in the ticket price.\nGuests are welcome to shop the diverse collection of 
 inspired design for the home in the Artefact showroom.\n\nCopies of The 
 Last Fire Season and Immemorial will be available for purchase at the 
 event.\nTickets at Eventbrite:
