In Barbara Wansbrough’s Wild Things: A Geography of Grief, B’s favorite sister dies suddenly during the pandemic. Afterward, B sets out each day into the wilds of L.A.’s Griffith Park with her dog, searching for understanding, peace, and reconciliation, and talking to her sister in the language of the landscape. Through 59 letters – one for each year of her sister’s life – B explores grief, family, memory, and transformation. Wansbrough will appear in conversation with journalist Paul Holdengraber.
