For the month of Sep, we are reading ‘Mushrooms at the end of the World’ by Anna Lowenhaupt Tsing.

In Tsings’s words,“What do you do when your world StArtS to FAll apart? I go for a walk, and if I’m really lucky, I find mushrooms. Mush- rooms pull me back into my senses, not just—like flowers—through their riotous colors and smells but because they pop up unexpectedly, reminding me of the good fortune of just happening to be there. Then I know that there are still pleasures amidst the terrors of indeterminacy.This book takes up the story of precarious livelihoods and precarious environments through tracking matsutake commerce and ecology.”

This books takes us through multiple landscapes through mushrooms where Tsing talks about larger than life things. This book is about mushrooms, progress, capitalism and questioning. It questions everything. 

P.S. We will share all the chapters you need to read for the session.
