When the state of Colorado ordered its residents to shelter in place in response to the spread of coronavirus, writers Pam Houston and Amy Irvine who had never met began a correspondence based on their shared devotion to the rugged, windswept mountains that surround their homes, one on either side of the Continental Divide.
As the numbers of infected and dead rose and the nation split dangerously over the crisis, Houston and Irvine found their letters to one another as necessary as breath. Torrey House Press has collected those letters and the result is a new book. “Air Mail: Letters of Politics, Pandemics, and Place” is part tribute to wilderness, and part indictment against tyranny and greed, and reveals the evolution of a friendship that galvanizes as it chronicles a strange new world.
