Meet Erika Howsare, the author of “The Age of Deer: Trouble and Kinship with Our Wild Neighbors.”
In this masterful hybrid of nature writing and cultural studies, Howsare investigates our human connections with deer for millennia. In the twenty-first century, our relationship with deer is still intimate, yet full of contradictions. We hunt and protect them. We cull them from suburbs, while mythologizing them as icons of wilderness. Howsare uses poetry, ecology, pop culture, anthropology, and interviews with dozens of hunters, naturalists and historians as she delves into the historical roots of our tangled attitudes toward deer.
