Nerdette Book Club is back to discuss How Far the Light Reaches: A Life in Ten Sea Creatures by Sabrina Imbler! This sparkling essay collection explores themes of community, queerness, and survival by weaving marine biology with stories from the author’s life.

Kat Chow, former NPR reporter and the author of the memoir Seeing Ghosts, and Rachel E. Gross, science journalist and author of Vagina Obscura: An Anatomical Voyage, join us for the discussion. We gush about Sabrina’s writing, the power of empathy, and the beauty of creatures so unlike ourselves.
