At this event, organized by the Phytological Critique research project at the Neubauer Collegium, visiting writer Matt Bell will discuss his experiences as an author and critic in the emerging genre of climate fiction, drawing on examples from science fiction, fantasy, and other literary genres. As Amitav Ghosh wrote, “The climate crisis is also a crisis of culture, and thus of the imagination  – and so the climate crisis must also require imaginative approaches and solutions. What new art forms or story shapes or philosophies or other intellectual technologies might we invent to help us make a better future together? A livestream of this event will be available via Zoom. ABOUT THE SPEAKER Matt Bell is the author most recently of the novel Appleseed (a New York Times notable book) and the craft book Refuse to Be Done, a guide to novel writing, rewriting, and revision. He is also the author of the novels Scrapper and In the House Upon the Dirt Between the Lake and the Woods, as well as the short story collection A Tree or a Person or a Wall, a nonfiction book about the classic video game Baldur's Gate II, and several other titles. His writing has appeared in the New York Times, Esquire, Tin House, Fairy Tale Review, American Short Fiction, Orion,and many other publications. A native of Michigan, he teaches creative writing at Arizona State University. IMAGE: Detail of Appleseed book cover, courtesy of the author.

Absolutely incredible experience!From the moment you enter, you&#39;re immersed in the history and interactive exhibits. The elevator ride adds to the anticipation. Once at the top, the panoramic views are breathtaking. We splurged on the drinks package, and they certainly didn&#39;t disappoint.

Grant Park is also a good place to visit for free. The most common people you see are locals doing outdoor sports. Running is very popular and can be seen at different times of the day. There are also some people walking their dogs.
