Bill Roorbach, author of "Beep" In-Person
Inspired by orcas disabling boats off the coast of Spain and the deer, foxes, and bears who roamed our cities during COVID shutdowns, award-winning author of Lucky Turtle and Life Among Giants Bill Roorbach set out to write a book that might change the world, and with BEEP, he does just that. This inspired, one-of-a-kind novel tackles the pressing matter of climate change with infectious humor and wit, and introduces readers to a narrator like no other: a squirrel monkey who approaches human society with childlike curiosity, is shocked by the abundance of ignorance he sees, and decides to save monkeykind from human evil — even if he can’t save us from ourselves.
"BEEP is a wonder, both monkey and novel,” says Kate Christensen, author of Welcome Home, Stranger. “Wildly beautiful, funny, moving, entrancing, and hopeful, this is a story for our times, a ray of warm and generous light, a stern warning, a triumph of storytelling.”
