Review“The best nonfiction book of 2018. … I can’t remember a book in recent years that taught me quite so much. Every page is vivid and rich. … A model for what serious reportage should be.” (Stephen L. Carter, Bloomberg)“[A] sweeping historical narrative. … Intimate, meticulously reported and captivating. … Earl Swift masterfully reveals Tangier as it is. … The definitive account of what once was and of what will soon be no more.” (Washington Post (A Notable Book of the Year))“Earl Swift has long shown a talent for locating the big and poignant stories that lay hidden in plain sight within the day-to-day lives of unsung Americans. With Chesapeake Requiem, his gift is on fine display. Here is a big story about a small place, a canary-in-the-coalmine tale that’s sad and beautiful, haunting and true.” (HAMPTON SIDES, New York Times bestselling author of In the Kingdom of Ice)“In a gripping, 400-page tome, Swift gracefully outlines the harsh inevitability of global warming and how the people on its front lines try to keep living their lives in its face. ... Fantastic.” (Outside (A Best Book of the Year))“A masterful narrative of place, people, and nature, supported by the best sort of on-the-ground journalism. … In Chesapeake Requiem, Swift does what only the best environmental writers can do.” (Christian Science Monitor (A Best Book of the Year))"America is about to learn what Virginians have known for decades—Earl Swift can flat-out write. A deeply moving and well-reported book." (BETH MACY, New York Times bestselling author of Dopesick and Truevine)“A provocative and respectful study of a culture that may soon be lost.” (Esquire, “The Best Nonfiction Books of 2018 (So Far)”)“Swift paints vivid portraits of both the natural environment and the individuals and institutions of this close-knit community. ... Harrowing and moving. ... A well-rounded portrait of a rural community both dependent on and threatened by its natural environment.” (Science)“Swift does such a good, interesting job of telling the stories of the people who live on this island. … He really gets [the] hard questions about the reality of climate change and … how we make decisions as a country and as a community about what we value.” (Heather Hansman, NPR’s All Things Considered)“One of the most powerful ways to tell the story of global climate change is to tell it local. And this meticulous, compassionate look at the fishermen and their families, who have for generations made a home on a tiny island in Chesapeake Bay, is a vivid portrait of what we are losing—and why we may fail to stop that loss.“ (Deborah Blum, NPR’s Science Friday)Read moreAbout the AuthorJournalist Earl Swift has written seven books, including Chesapeake Requiem: A Year with th Watermen of Vanishing Tangier Island (2018) and Auto Biography: A Classic Car, An Outlaw Motorhead, and 57 Years of the American Dream (2014).
