In conversation with Keith Gessen
Wine reception to follow
Local journalist Matthew Wolfe, whose works has appeared in the New York Times, New Republic, and elsewhere, launches Fires in the Night, the explosive true story of a secret group of radicals who launched a clandestine battle to save the planet—and what their legacy illuminates about the past, present, and future of the environmental movement. Drawing on years of original reporting and interviews, including with reclusive activists breaking their silence for the first time, as well as thousands of pages of unreleased investigative files, Wolfe offers a thrilling, intimate account of a moment in American life when the actions of radical environmentalists challenged mainstream complacency. New York Times bestselling author Zoë Schlanger calls it “cinematic, suspenseful, [and] totally immersive.” Wolfe reads from and discusses the book with Keith Gessen, founding editor of n+1 and author of Raising Raffi, before an audience Q&A and signing.
