What would post-apocalyptic wanderers make of Burning Man? What’s the dystopian future of indie rock? What will the ruins of physical media mean to climate change-ravaged generations to come? Mary Helen Specht’s Mudlark searches for the answers to these questions among American rubble in underground bunkers, treetop societies, and wastelands in between. Mother-daughter bonds, alligator shoes, and underwater treasures fill the lyrical pages of this timeline-shifting read for fans of A Visit From the Goon Squad and Parable of the Sower. Hear a snippet from Specht herself and pick up a copy next Tuesday. – Caroline Drew
