About this Event

Maria Pinto presents Fearless, Sleepless, Deathless: What Fungi Taught Me about Nourishment, Poison, Ecology, Hidden Histories, Zombies, and Black Survival

In conversation with Eugenia Bone
Writer, educator, and mycophile Maria Pinto presents Fearless, Sleepless, Deathless, a stunning debut that uncovers strange and beautiful fungal connections between the natural and human worlds. Mingling reportage, research, memoir, and nature writing, Pinto brings a new perspective and a distinctive literary voice to this mix of environmental and lived history—ranging from Black farmers’ domestication of the unforgettable aroma of truffles to the possibility that enslaved people wielded mycological poisons against their enslavers. With "echoes of Jamaica Kincaid and Annie Dillard" (Publishers Weekly), every page of Pinto's work sings with her enthusiasm for the networks in which we are embedded: fungal, ecological, ancestral, and communal. Internationally known food and nature writer Eugenia Bone joins Pinto for a reading and discussion, before an audience Q&A.
