Steinbeck meets climate crisis in Daniel Gumbiner's fall novel 'Fire in the Canyon.' As head of the revived Believer magazine, he knows about surviving disaster
Gurba’s essays, collected in ‘Creep,’ showcase an unblinking gaze at gender-based violence and other cruelties, which the author would rather be known for.“I kind of follow my nose and pay attention — it’s learning to move through the world as a writer,” says Gumbiner, who also edits writers as head of the Believer magazine.Early on in the novel, fire breaks out and destroys part of the family farm. Gumbiner says he was more interested in exploring the aftermath than the disaster itself.
Gumbiner says he begins by “finding the thing that drives my curiosity” and then navigating through the narrative fog in search of connections. A Sunday boatbuilding class and conversations with its teacher inspired him to write “The Boatbuilder,” in which a tech industry refugee addicted to opiates finds a way back to life through studying with a reclusive master of the craft.
