Description

Announcing our first Chuckanut Radio Hour since 2019! We're pleased to welcome Kira Jane Buxton for her brand new novel, Feral Creatures! This event will be at the Firehouse Performing Arts Center and due to Covid restrictions, seating will be limited so register now and reserve your spot! About the book Kira Jane Buxton’s debut novel, Hollow Kingdom, introduced the world to S.T., a foulmouthed, Cheeto®-loving crowtagonist on a quest to save humankind from extinction. A finalist for the 2020 Thurber Prize for American Humor, the book received critical acclaim and burrowed into the hearts of countless readers. With Feral Creatures, Kira Jane Buxton continues S.T.’s story with another bighearted, death-defying adventure that will take our hero from the wilds of Alaska and across the Bering Sea on the backs of orcas, returning to S.T.’s beloved homeland of Seattle where an epic battle between the animal kingdom and a new mutant threat will be waged. But there’s more at stake than ever, as S.T. must protect Dee, the last human on Earth, whom he’s raised since birth with a coterie of owls, a protective bald eagle and an oafish muskox. With her trademark blend of satirical humor, fantasy and horror, Buxton explores how despite climate change and an increasingly complex society, we can still hold out hope for the future… even if it’s on the (broken) wing of an opinionated crow. About the author Kira Jane Buxton’s debut novel, Hollow Kingdom, was a finalist for the Audie Awards, the Washington State Book Awards and the Thurber Prize for American Humor. It was named a best book of the year by NPR, Book Riot and Good Housekeeping. She spends her time with three cats, a dog, two crows, a charm of hummingbirds, five Steller’s jays, two dark-eyed juncos, two squirrels and a husband. Doors open and music begins at 6:30pm! *Masks will be required for all audience members regardless of vaccination status. Thank you for your cooperation.
