Description

A spectacular blend of graphic memoir and climate activism, Holler uses contemporary and visceral storytelling to highlight the lives of six frontline resisters to the Mountain Valley Pipeline in Appalachia. Author Elizabeth Rush writes “Few books illustrate what collective resistance looks like––the pain that sparks it, and the love that fuels it––Holler is a thoughtful addition to this growing, and necessary, canon.”

 

Drawing from original interviews with debut author and climate organizer, Denali Sai Nalamalapu, Holler introduces readers to a teacher, a single mother, a nurse, an organizer, a photographer, and a seed keeper, who became activists as the Mountain Valley Pipeline, which spans approximately 300 miles from northwestern West Virginia to southern Virginia, threatened their homes, their livelihoods, their community.

 

A deeply moving story about change, hope, and humanity, Holler is an invitation to readers everywhere searching for their own path to activism: sending the message that no matter how small your action is, it’s impactful.
