Join us for a Summer Social at Hotel Congress’ Century Room to celebrate the release of Katherine Larson’s Wedding of the Foxes, a collection of lyric essays that embraces fractures, contradictions, and the interconnectedness of life on Earth. Raising two children, coping with pandemic isolation, and grappling with the magnitude of the current extinction crisis, Katherine Larson finds herself in need of an antidote for despair. This is when Larson encounters kintsugi—the art of repairing broken pottery with gold-dusted lacquer. 

Books will be for sale after the reading.
