SUMMARY:The Big Texas Author Talk Featuring Deb Olin Unferth
DESCRIPTION:Join us on Wednesday\, August 19\, 2026\, via Zoom for a conversation with Deb Olin Unferth\, to discuss her new book\, Earth 7: A Novel (Graywolf Press).\n\n\n(Virtual Readings Quarterly @ 7pm CST) \n\n\nRSVP \nDeb Olin Unferth’s latest novel\, Earth 7\, is a bold and imaginative work of climate fiction that explores love\, survival\, and what remains of humanity on a nearly uninhabitable planet. As Earth sits on the brink\, two unlikely figures—a woman raised in an ocean pod and another who may be a robot—form a connection in a world where some have fled to Mars and others seek digital immortality. At once poetic\, strange\, and deeply human\, Earth 7 moves from the vast edges of the cosmos to the microscopic\, asking urgent questions about consciousness\, technology\, and what it means to endure. \n\nAbout the Author\nDeb Olin Unferth is the author of seven books\, including Barn 8 and Wait Till You See Me Dance. She has received a Guggenheim Fellowship and four Pushcart Prizes\, and was a National Book Critics Circle Award finalist. Her work has appeared in Harper’s\, The Paris Review\, Granta\, and McSweeney’s. \n  \n  \n  \n  \n\nAbout the Moderator\nFernando A. Flores was born in Reynosa\, Tamaulipas\, Mexico\, and grew up in the South Texas borderlands. He is the author of the collections Death to the Bullshit Artists of South Texas and Valleyesque\, along with the novels Tears of the Trufflepig and Brother Brontë\, which was one of Kirkus’ Best of Fiction 2025 and longlisted for the 2026 PEN/Faulkner award for fiction. He lives in Austin\, Texas.
