About the Author

Maria Pinto is the author of Fearless, Sleepless, Deathless: What Fungi Taught Me about Nourishment, Poison, Ecology, Hidden Histories, Zombies, and Black Survival (Great Circle Books).

Her work will appeal to readers drawn to expansive nonfiction that connects ecology with cultural reflection.
