Her first year in Margaretville, New York, Jennifer Kabat wakes to a rain-swollen stream and her basement flooding. As she delves into the region's fraught environmental history, it becomes clear that this is far from the first--and hardly the worst--disaster in the region. Tracing connections across time, she uncovers Cold War weather experiments, betrayals of the Mohawk Nation, and an unlikely cast of characters, including Kurt Vonnegut's older brother, Bernard--all reflected through grief brought on by her father's recent passing. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eInquisitive and experimental, \u003ci\u003eNightshining\u003c\/i\u003e uses place as a palimpsest of history. With lyrical incision, Kabat mirrors her own life experience and the essence of being human--the cosmos thrumming in our bodies, connecting readers to the land around us and time before us.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eJennifer Kabat \u003c\/b\u003ewas a finalist for the Notting Hill Editions' essay prize and has been published in\u003ci\u003e BOMB \u003c\/i\u003eand \u003ci\u003eThe Best American Essays\u003c\/i\u003e.
