In Conversation with Claire Cameron
Wednesday April 30th, 2025
6:30pm - 8:30 pm
Claire Cameron joins us at The Lobby for an intimate evening of discussion and exploration about her latest book "How to Survive a Bear Attack".
Claire will do a short reading, followed by a talk and q and a exploring themes in the book.
In her debut memoir, Claire Cameron confronts the rare genetic mutation that gave her cancer by investigating an equally rare and terrifying event—a predatory bear attack.
Seamlessly weaving together nature writing with true crime investigation in this unflinching account of recovery, How to Survive a Bear Attack is at once an intimate portrait of an extraordinary animal, a bracing chronicle of pain, obsession, and love, and a profoundly moving exploration of how we can understand and survive the wildness that lives inside us.
