Chamorro climate activist and human rights lawyer Julian Aguon will present his cross-genre book, No Country for Eight-Spot Butterflies, at this talk. The coming-of-age tale blends Aguon's childhood stories with myriad calls for justice—he writes with urgency on topics of Indigenous rights, nuclear weaponry, global warming, and more. Lenika Cruz at The Atlantic described the book as "the most tender polemic I’ve ever read”—hear Aguon discuss it with beloved author Karen Russell at Powell's.
