Recenzje

"If there is a book which can mobilize us for the urgent ecological engagement, it is Land Sickness. It combines in a unique way the aesthetic pleasure of casual reading with the deepest existential engagement."Slavoj Zizek"This book is perhaps the first of a long series: a Bildungsroman, except that it is not about a self that adjusts to the social world, but about a self that no longer knows what to do with a natural world that exhausts it. Hence the hybrid genre of affects and theories."Bruno Latour"How to recover the self in and after the Anthropocene - this remarkable little book will work like an inspiring manual for those contemplating that task."Dipesh Chakrabarty"Nikolaj Schultz has given us a movingly rendered meditation on the moral dead ends we encounter as we attempt to navigate our way through the disorienting world of the Anthropocene. A unique and often tormented blend of personal struggle and ecological commentary that leaves the reader in a state of beautiful dread."Clive Hamilton"In beautiful prose that makes everyday moments seem profound, Schultz describes his life as a series of climate-related decisions... an ecological essay that raises important questions about what it means to live in a time of growing catastrophe."Foreword Reviews (starred review)
