PARTNER EVENT—A Climate Conversation with Novelist Rich Marcello

Join local author Rich Marcello for a sit down interview on his 6th novel, The Means of Keeping.

The Means of Keeping is a profound exploration of grief, friendship, and the indelible impact of climate change on personal and global scales. Set in a near-future America, the novel follows two lifelong friends shattered by a climate crisis-induced tragedy that claims the lives of their families. The evolving dynamics provide a rich narrative ground, exploring the intersections of personal loss, love, renewal, environmental activism, and the search for meaning in a world on the brink of unrepairable catastrophe.

Want to read it ahead of time? Copies will be available at the Acton Library Circulation Desk beginning in December.

This event is co-sponsored by Town of Acton Sustainability Office & EnergizeActon.org
