Rick Van Noy will discuss his recent book, “Sudden Spring” on Tuesday, March 14, at 6 p.m. at Martin Hall at New River Community College.

New River Community College will host a book talk with Radford University English professor Dr. Rick Van Noy on Tuesday, March 14, at 6 p.m. in 225A Martin Hall inside the NRCC Library on campus. 

Van Noy will discuss his most recent book, “Sudden Spring: Stories of Adaptation in a Climate-Changed South.” The book is based on stories from his travels in the American South, as well as from conversations with government, geological, and conservation experts.

“Sudden Spring” “is a portrait of what climate change looks like in specific Southern places to specific people.” Van Noy is an author and professor of English at Radford University. 

Van Noy said he wanted to write the book because “the short answer is that I wanted to move it out of abstraction, to bring it down to a local level in ways that real people experience it. Downscaling is a term climate change experts use to bring global forecasts down to community impacts.

“All of my books look at particular places but with a different kind of mapping,” Van Noy said. “Using techniques of creative nonfiction—including narrative, scene, humor, and dialogue—I try to zoom in on large-scale processes happening at the local level, offering personalized depictions happening both on the ground and beneath the surface.”

The event will include light refreshments and a few copies of the book to give away.

For more information about the event, contact Sandy Smith in the NRCC Library at ssmith@nr.edu or (540)674-3600, ext. 4345.
