From the icelands of Antarctica to the underwater worlds of the Sea of Cortez, these novelists and essayists have journeyed into the world’s wildest spaces—natural, urban, mythic, and otherwise—and have returned to tell the tale. Come hear as they share their stories and discuss the trials and wonders of writing from extreme circumstances.
