Join us for a conversation with Karen Olsson about her new novel, Dear Thorns, with Dallas writer Sonia Smith.
In the South Texas ranchlands, wildlife researcher Lora spends her days tracking the elusive ocelot. An affair with a younger intern disrupts her carefully ordered life, while competing ambitions at the refuge test her dedication to conservation.
With humor and a keen eye for the landscape, Dear Thorns explores midlife desire, the distance between ideals and institutions, and the ways people and animals struggle to find room in a changing world.
Karen Olsson is the author of Dear Thorns, Waterloo, All the Houses, and The Weil Conjectures. Her debut novel, Waterloo, was a runner-up for the PEN/Hemingway Award. A former editor of The Texas Observer, she has contributed to The New York Times Magazine, Slate, Bookforum, and Texas Monthly. She studied mathematics at Harvard and lives in Austin with her family.
Sonia Smith is a Dallas-based writer and two-time Livingston Award finalist whose reporting has appeared in Texas Monthly, The New York Times Magazine, Slate, and the Kyiv Post. Her profile of climate scientist Katharine Hayhoe was selected for The Best American Science and Nature Writing 2017.
