In this interview, I chat with Jessica Bryant Klagmann about This Impossible Brightness, how she came up with the idea for this novel, climate change and incorporating it into the story, focusing on the idea of listening, echoes, genre mashups, and much more.\nJessica's recommended reads are:\n\n\nThe Comet Seekers by Helen Sedgwick\n\n\nThe Bear by Andrew Krivak\n\n\nAll We Can Save: Truth, Courage, and Solutions for the Climate Crisis by Ayana Elizabeth Johnson (editor) and\xa0Katharine K. Wilkinson (editor)\n\n\nWant to know which new titles are publishing in January - May of 2024?
