Saint Mark’s member Elizabeth Clark-Stern will read from her climate fiction novel, The Language of Water, a story that takes place in 2100 when the Middle East is struggling from permanent drought. Kurdish and Turkish women find hope in a new technology, if only the patriarchal power structures of the world, and the foibles of humanity, will get out of the way. Copies of the book may be pre-ordered now on Amazon or at Aqueduct Press. (On Amazon, don’t click on the review stars, an entirely different book comes up! Just click on the cover.)
