Having taught satiric literature over several decades and My Days of Dark Green Euphoria this past fall, I heartily commend A..E. Copenhaver. Her novel achieves the daring and difficult feat of satirizing her extreme environmentalist protagonist without dismissing her concerns and ecogrief as merely extreme or unwarranted. I look forward to teaching it again next year, along with this cogent essay.
