The SciFri Book Club Talks ‘The Lost City of Z’
22:15 minutes
Join novelist Jeff VanderMeer and archaeologist Sarah Parcak for the SciFri Book Club’s discussion of David Grann’s tale of Amazonian exploration, The Lost City of Z: A Tale of Deadly Obsession in the Amazon. What really happened to Victorian-era explorer Percy Fawcett after he disappeared into the Amazon’s “Green Hell”? Is Fawcett’s “lost city of Z” a figment of his imagination or an archaeological reality? It’s all up for debate when the SciFri Book Club talks The Lost City of Z.
