When I returned Ishiguro’s The Unconsoled to the Brooklyn Public Library just now, there was a pretty large film crew setting up outside the library. A big budget feature — some Marvel thing, I was told.

Bruce Westerman will introduce this map at Thursday’s Natural Resources hearing. Produced by USGS in January 2024, it looks pretty different after the past week or so.
