Anthony Doerr: Cloud Cuckoo Land
By TPLCulture
A collaborative event with Toronto International Festival of Authors, join Pulitzer Prize–winning author of All the Light We Cannot See, perhaps the most bestselling and beloved literary fiction of our time, in a conversation about the highly anticipated Cloud Cuckoo Land. Set in Constantinople in the fifteenth century, in a small town in present-day Idaho, and on an interstellar ship decades from now, Anthony Doerr’s gorgeous third novel is a triumph of imagination and compassion, a soaring story about children on the cusp of adulthood in worlds in peril, who find resilience, hope—and a book. Doerr has created a magnificent tapestry of times and places that reflects our vast interconnectedness — with other species, with each other, with those who lived before us, and with those who will be here after we’re gone.
Anthony Doerr talks with Randy Boyagoda (Dante’s Indiana) about Cloud Cuckoo Land, a novel about stewardship of the book, of the Earth, of the human heart.
