Join us in the Packingtown Museum for a conversation with New Yorker contributor and cohost of the award-winning podcast Gastropod, Nicola Twilley.

Nicola’s recent book, Frostbite, is an engaging and far-reaching exploration of refrigeration, tracing its evolution from scientific mystery to globe-spanning infrastructure, and an essential investigation into how it has remade our entire relationship with food—for better and for worse. A deeply researched and reported, original, and entertaining dive into the most important invention in the history of food and drink, Frostbite makes the case for a recalibration of our relationship with the fridge—and how our future might depend on it.

Nicola will be joined by Packingtown Museum curator Dominic Pacyga and Pilsen Community Books.
