Helen Macdonald
8 p.m. | Royce Hall
Helen Macdonald’s New York Times bestseller and award-winning sensation H Is for Hawk tells the story of how she adopted and raised one of nature’s most formidable predators to escape the grief she felt after the sudden death of her beloved father. Fierce and feral, her goshawk Mabel’s temperament mirrored Helen’s own, and together raptor and human “discover the pain and beauty of being alive” (People Magazine). This genre-defying debut is at heart a meditation on love, loss and our relationship to the natural world. It has been translated into 25 languages and is being developed into a movie by Game of Thrones star Lena Headey. Helen writes for the New York Times Magazine and is filming a BBC/PBS documentary on hawks both wild and tame.
