Lauren Yero, Author<\/h4>\n

\"\"Lauren Yero\u2019s debut novel Under This Forgetful Sky<\/em> was born out of time she spent working in Chile as a freelance writer and engaging in \u201clong, exhilarating conversations \u2026 about everything from poetry and music and current events to the specific geopolitical history and socioeconomic relationships between the US and Chile\u2014all of which found their way into the book in some form,\u201d Yero says.<\/p>\n

The novel\u2019s story, however, centers on a near-future world dramatically altered by a changing climate. \u201cI started writing the book at a time in my life when I was just beginning to process the enormity of climate change\u2014how enmeshed the ecological crisis was with every aspect of my existence\u2014and it felt impossible to write a story that didn\u2019t reckon with this reality in some way,\u201d she says.<\/p>\n

This YA crossover novel packs plenty of appeal for young readers. \u201cBut the novel also wrestles with questions that I think adults will find interesting as well\u2014questions of privilege and responsibility in an increasingly interconnected world, questions of what we\u2019re willing to sacrifice for one another and how far we\u2019re willing to go to effect change,\u201d says Yero.<\/p>\n

Under This Forgetful Sky, July 2023, fiction, paperback, $19.99, by Lauren Yero and published by Atheneum Books, New York, NY. Yero will be in conversation with fellow author Megan Shepherd on Tuesday, August 1, at Malaprop\u2019s Bookstore\/Caf\u00e9.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
