Nature N8 reads a book and talks about it with the author!
Two Trees Make a Forest is a mix of nature writing and memoir, where it follows the narrator through Taiwan’s landscape and history. Born in an immigrant family that has moved across three continents within three generations, Jessica uses her training in natural history to uncover her connections to Taiwan.
Jessica J. Lee is a British-Canadian-Taiwanese author based in Berlin. In this episode, she chats candidly about her feelings as an outsider/insider, her hikes in Taiwanese mountains, and the subtle politics of ecology and nature writing.
Two Trees Make a Forest comes out in the U.S. on August 4th. Get your copy from your local bookstores, or find it online at Bookshop.org.
