Two writers grappling with our ties, commitments, and inheritance in the wake of environmental catastrophe come together to discuss their compelling new books with Caoilinn Hughes. Alice Mah's memoir, Red Pockets, traces her own journey from South China to Scotland, and Madeleine Watts's novel, Elegy, Southwest, traces a young couple's journey through a blasted America. Hear both authors reflecting on what debts we owe - to our ancestors, our past relationships, even ourselves?
