Lion Rock Visiting Writers Series: Roy Scranton In-Person
Join us for Roy Scranton's craft talk at Brooks Library, Student Commons for the first event of this three-day program.
Climate change and protecting the environment is not just a factual issue, but a moral issue as well. Please welcome American writer, published author, and Iraq War Veteran, Roy Scranton to CWU. During this three-day event, Roy Scranton will discuss his critically acclaimed published book: Learning to Die in the Anthropocene.
"In Learning to Die in the Anthropocene, Roy Scranton draws on his experiences in Iraq to confront the grim realities of climate change. The result is a fierce and provocative book."
—Elizabeth Kolbert, Pulitzer Prize-winning author of The Sixth Extinction: An Unnatural History
Scranton’s book responds to the problem of climate change by arguing that, to survive, we must come to terms with our mortality. Other published work by Scranton includes War Porn.
