Opis

This book is for readers interested in how literature tackles climate change, 'petro-culture', extinction, and the proposed 'human' epoch of the Anthropocene. Chapters discuss flooding, pollution, oil, humans, and animals, while revisiting old and new literary forms, including novels, poems, plays, and gaming.
