The new novel from Oregon author Lidia Yuknavitch is anything but straightforward. The story - or collection of stories - travels through time, exploring different moments on the edges of America’s history. There is no main character, but a turtle and an aquatic young girl do play a role in guiding the reader from one scene to the next. The book is very much a response to the crises of the present moment - e.g., climate change, the rise of white supremacy - but is grounded in the injustices of the past. Lidia Yuknavitch joins us to talk about her new novel, “Thrust.”
