Author Talk: Paul Bochner

Penelope: The World of Each Other is a reflective and deeply personal memoir in which Paul Bochner explores his relationship with a wild deer he comes to know as Penelope. Through careful observation and lived experience, Bochner examines the possibilities of understanding, communication, and mutual presence between humans and free-living animals.

Blending life writing with environmental reflection, the book offers a quiet but powerful perspective on how wildlife exists alongside us, often unseen. Set against the backdrop of Ohio’s natural landscape, Bochner’s narrative invites readers to rethink familiar assumptions about animals and the boundaries we place between human and nonhuman lives.

Thoughtful and affecting, Penelope: The World of Each Other will resonate with readers interested in animal welfare, ethical relationships with wildlife, and stories that reveal the emotional and social richness of the natural world.

Join us as we welcome Paul Bochner as he discusses his very moving memoir.
