Writing The Body In Memoir: How To Work With What Our Bodies Know
Dashka Slater presents The Wild Season: The Remarkable True Story of A Rabbit Rescue.
November 15, 2026 at Local Economy in Oakland, CA
THE WILD SEASON: The Remarkable True Story of A Rabbit Rescue is an adventure story that takes place in a park in SF. It’s about nature, and community, and what it means to be a person in a broken world, and also why there are so many damn rabbits in Australia. Oh, and it’s for kids ages 8-12, but also for adults and anyone who likes parks and animal and building forts and needs to hear inspiring stories about neighbors who come together to solve a problem.
The book is the latest work from the bestselling author, Dashka Slater, who writes nonfiction page-turners set in the Bay Area. You may know her books The 57 Bus and Accountable as well as her children's books like The Antlered Ship, a Local Economy favorite.
In this very special session, Slater will be interviewed by 10-year-old and big Dashka Slater fan, Flora Madrigal.

Inside, most things are organized around a long central table where talks, workshops, book clubs and game sessions all happen in close quarters. more...
