River Selby will be discussing their debut memoir, Hotshot: A Life on Fire with Professor Ravi Howard.

From 2000 to 2010, River Selby was a wildland firefighter whose given name was Anastasia. This is a memoir of that time in their life--of Ana, the struggles she encountered, and the constraints of what it means to be female-bodied in a male-dominated industry. An illuminating debut from a fierce new voice, HOTSHOT is a timely reckoning with both the personal and environmental dangers of wildland firefighting. Hotshot is an Amazon Editor's Pick, Goodreads September memoir pick, and has been reviewed by NPR and the San Francisco Chronicle.
