More about the book
The book explores how narrative form can challenge the hierarchical model of human societies' interactions with nature, a key factor in the climate crisis. Inspired by Timothy Morton's "mesh" concept, it examines how various literary genres, including novels and short stories, utilize formal devices to reflect the interconnectedness of human and nonhuman entities. Through this analysis, it highlights the potential of storytelling to reshape our understanding of environmental relationships and foster a more inclusive perspective on climate issues.
