Skidompha Library’s Chats with Champions will feature author Kay Tobler Liss at 10 a.m. on Thursday, March 25.
Kay Tobler Liss’ first novel, “The Last Resort,” follows Paul, a lawyer who flees his mundane city life to quiet, windy off-season Montauk. Soon Paul befriends a group of Indigenous Montauk people and helps them fight to protect their ancestral land from development and privatization.
Though the plot details of “The Last Resort” and its characters are fictional, the impetus for the novel came from Liss’ own work with conservation groups during her time living in Montauk.
