Catherine Bush is a Canadian novelist who has spoken internationally about the importance of addressing the climate crisis through fiction.

Her latest novel, Blaze Island, is an ecological retelling of Shakespeare’s play The Tempest, set on a fictional island off Newfoundland.

Cut off from the rest of the world after a Category 5 hurricane devastates the East Coast of North America, the younger survivors are left battling a storm of emotions about their compromised future, while their elders wrangle over how best to prosper from the sins of the past.

Join Catherine and Red as they discuss adapting Shakespeare, geoengineering, and living at the sharp edge of climate change.
