SUMMARY:Charlotte Taylor Fryar: Potomac Fever
DESCRIPTION:Join us Sunday\, June 22 from 2:00 pm-3:00 pm for an afternoon with author Charlotte Taylor Fryar as she discusses her debut book Potomac Fever\, which explores the winding history of this well-known river. After her talk\, Charlotte will answer questions and sign books. Copies of Potomac Fever will be available for purchase at the event. \nThis event will be held at Brunswick Branch Library in partnership with Frederick County Public Libraries. This event is free and open to the public. For accessibility requests\, email info@curiousiguana.com at least two (2) weeks prior to the event. \nAbout the book: An impassioned meditation on American identity and its ebb and flow through the Capital’s great waterway \nAs she walks the length of the Potomac River\, clambering up its banks and sounding its depths\, Charlotte Taylor Fryar examines the geography and ecology of Washington\, D.C. with all manner of flora and fauna as her witness. The ecological traces of human inhabitancy provide her with imaginative access into America’s past\, for her true subject is the origin of our splintered nation and racially divided capital. \nFrom the gentrified neighborhood of Shaw to George Washington’s slave labor camp at Mount Vernon\, Potomac Fever maps the troubled histories of the United States by leading us along the less-trafficked trails and side streets of our capital city\, steeped in the legacy of white supremacy and colonialism. In the end\, Fryar offers hope for how “we might grow a society guided by the ethics and values of the places we live.” \nA compelling synthesis of historical\, environmental\, and personal narrative\, Potomac Fever exposes the roots of our national myths\, awash in the waters of America’s renowned river. \nAbout the author: Charlotte Taylor Fryar is a writer\, historian\, educator\, and herbalist. She holds a PhD in American Studies from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill and lives in Glen Echo\, Maryland\, less than seven hundred feet from the banks of the Potomac River. Potomac Fever: Reflections on the Nation’s River is her first book.
