Long Litt Woon, author of international bestseller "The Way Through The Woods" visits Prismatic Pages in conversation with Anne Balke Staver - just in time for foraging season!
A grieving widow feeling disconnected from life discovers a most unexpected obsession--hunting for mushrooms--in a story of healing and purpose.
"The Way Through the Woods" tells the story of two parallel journeys: an inner one, through the landscape of mourning, and an outer one, into the fascinating realm of mushrooms--resilient, adaptable, dizzyingly diverse, and essential to nature's cycles of death and rebirth. An anthropologist and certified mushroom expert, Woon brings a fresh eye and boundless curiosity to the natural world and takes readers from primordial Norwegian forests to hidden-in-plain-sight Central Park pathways. She also introduces a lovable and eccentric cast of mushroom obsessives.
The book was Norway's most-translated book the year it came out, and has been translated to 17 different languages.
Woon and Anne will talk for around 45 minutes about the book, followed by a 15 minute Q&A, and finally mingling and signing of books.
When: 2 September, 17.15-18.45
Where: Prismatic Pages, Rathkes gate 7b
