Reseña del libro "Anthropocene Realism: Fiction in the Age of Climate Change (en Inglés)"

Examining the challenges faced by novelists writing realist fiction in the age of climate change, this open access book considers the various ways in which contemporary writers have evolved new and transformed modes of realism to grapple with the problems of living on an endangered planet. Focusing on fiction set in the 'long present' - a term used to cover the actual present, the near future and an historic past that interacts with the present - Thieme argues that long-present realism negates the possibility of deferring engagement with the climate crisis on the grounds that it is a future threat. Thieme examines work by twelve novelists: Margaret Atwood, James Bradley, Amitav Ghosh, Helon Habila, Liz Jensen, Barbara Kingsolver, Ian McEwan, Richard Powers, Annie Proulx, Indra Sinha, Antii Tuomainen and Wu Ming-Yi. He provides important new insights into the methods these writers use to convey the urgency of the climate crisis and how their work can inform our understandings of the Anthropocene activity that endangers life on Earth.
