The Big Read is pleased to present our second program based on Margaret Atwood’s book, The Year of the Flood. Atwood will present a keynote address during the San Miguel Writers’ Conference and Literary Festival on February 16, 2012. This program, entitled What’s Being Done? is a reaction to Atwood’s controversial position that our world is headed for a chemical and ecological dystopia.  In a world where almost everyone has died, the hope she holds for the continuance of the planet is an ecologically based religion.

Join us for a lively evening with three presenters and a video. (More about this event here)
