Annie was lucky enough to catch Bri Lee on her book tour for her second novel, Seed. Set in Antarctica, Seed follows two scientists, Mitch and Frances, as they spend a month at the seed vault that they have been creating and protecting. But as strange things keep happening to the facility, culminating in their helicopter failing to pick them up, they both have to grapple with their life choices and the secrets they have been keeping from each other and themselves.
We chat about Bri's research trip to McMurdo Sound, interrogating the Antarctic literary tradition, visions of utopia and Bri's ongoing project News & Reviews.
Bri's latest book crush is Plain Life by Antonia Pont - an essay collection she describes as life changing. Follow us! Email: [email protected] Instagram: @mr_annie / @brilee Substack: Books On The Go Credits Artwork: Sascha Wilkosz
