Evacuation orders are coming. A wildfire is bearing down. Playing with Wildfire recounts the trauma and communal moments of a mountain town's inhabitants as a fire roars their way. Playing with experimental form in order to subvert storytelling expectations and told in polyphonic voices to inspire inclusion, this book upends expectations at every turn as Pritchett's unforgettable characters are forced into companionship in ways that disrupt our bifurcated country--and show us that demolition might actually an opportunity to renovate how we choose to live on planet Earth.
