As she delves into the region's fraught environmental history, it becomes clear that this is far from the first—and hardly the worst—disaster in the region. Tracing connections across time, she uncovers Cold War weather experiments, betrayals of the Mohawk Nation, and an unlikely cast of characters, including Kurt Vonnegut's older brother, Bernard—all reflected through grief brought on by her father's recent passing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eInquisitive and experimental, \u003ci\u003eNightshining\u003c\/i\u003e uses place as a palimpsest of history.
