A True Story from a Hotter World

Village Books is thrilled to welcome bestselling author John Vaillant to the Readings Gallery in Fairhaven!

Built around a blow-by-blow account of the 2016 wildfire that devastated the Canadian oil hub of Fort McMurray, and caused the largest single-day evacuation in the history of modern fire, Fire Weather traces the braided histories of petroleum, automobiles, wildfires, and climate science, mapping out the journey and drama that brought us into a new “century of fire,” in which hotter, more destructive blazes are impacting forests and human communities across the globe.

John Vaillant’s acclaimed, award-winning nonfiction books, The Golden Spruce and The Tiger, were national bestsellers. He has written forThe New Yorker, The Atlantic, and National Geographic. The event will include a Q&A and book signing.
