University of Iowa professor of Creative writing, John D’Agata, reads from his book About a Mountain. While moving his mother to Las Vegas, D’Agata began to follow the story of the government’s plan to store high-level nuclear waste at Yucca Mountain. Exploring intertwined questions of time, communication, and annihilation, D’Agata’s highly-anticipated second book is an unflinching, terrifying, and beautifully written meditation on nothing less than the future of human life.
