Episode Details

Steffan Triplett discusses his new book, Bad Forecast, a powerful hybrid memoir told through lyrical and fractured prose. He will be launching his book at the White Whale Bookstore on Thursday, October 3rd at 7 pm. Steffan delves into the personal and societal storms that shape our lives, exploring themes of grief, race, and queerness through the metaphor of weather and natural disasters. He discusses how his experiences growing up in Middle America inform the narrative, what secrets lie beneath its surface, and how we interpret both the literal and figurative forecasts of our past and future.
