Arboreality

In "Arboreality," an expansion of the acclaimed story that won the 2020 Theodore Sturgeon Memorial Award, Rebecca Campbell weaves a poignant tale of a West Coast community grappling with climate change. The narrative follows a professor rescuing books from a crumbling library, a man planting fireweed in a nearly abandoned suburb, and an aspiring luthier poaching Sitka spruce for a child prodigy's violin. As these interconnected lives unfold, Campbell explores the profound impact of small acts and intimate moments on a community's survival amid environmental challenges.
