A 20concise and utterly enlightening21 look at why we can17t
wrap our minds around climate change (Publishers Weekly).
nbsp Are we deranged? Award-winning essayist and novelist
Amitav Ghosh argues that future generations may think so.
How else to explain our imaginative failure in the face of global
warming? The Great Derangement examines our inability12at
the level of literature, history, and politics12to grasp the scale
and violence of climate change. The extreme nature of
today17s climate events, Ghosh asserts, make them peculiarly
resistant to current modes of thinking and imagining. This is
particularly true of serious literary fiction: hundred-year storms
and freakish tornadoes simply feel too improbable they are
automatically consigned to genres like science fiction. In the
writing of history, too, the crisis has sometimes led to gross
simplifications, but the carbon economy is a tangled story with
many contradictory and counterintuitive elements. Ghosh ends
by suggesting that politics, much like literature, has become a
matter of personal moral reckoning rather than an arena of
collective action, and that limitation comes at great cost. The
climate crisis asks us to imagine other forms of human
existence12a task to which fiction, Ghosh argues, is the best
suited of all cultural forms. His book serves as a great
writer17s summons to confront the most urgent task of our
time, and 20makes the case that climate solutions can17t be
left to scientists, technocrats, and politicians21 (Los Angeles
Review of Books). nbsp 20Perhaps the most penetrating
cultural critic of a new age defined by climate change and the
strange, inadequate, and often self-deluding ways we process
its transformations in our storytelling.2112New York Magazine
nbsp 20Resistance to the grim realities of climate change is so
widespread that the crisis barely figures in literary fiction, notes
writer Amitav Ghosh30The solution, he argues, lies in
collective action as well as scientific and governmental
involvement.2112Nature
