Join author Charlotte Taylor Fryar for a virtual meeting to discuss her debut non-fiction book, Potomac Fever: Reflections on the Nation’s River, which Kirkus Reviews calls “A lovely ode to an oft-neglected river.” Potomac Fever is newly available for purchase, but is not a required reading for this seminar.

Synopsis: As she walks the length of the Potomac River, clambering up its banks and sounding its depths, Charlotte Taylor Fryar examines the geography and ecology of Washington, D.C. with all manner of flora and fauna as her witness. The ecological traces of human inhabitancy provide her with imaginative access into America’s past

A compelling synthesis of historical, environmental, and personal narrative, Potomac Fever exposes the roots of our national myths, awash in the waters of America’s renowned river.
