Great discussion of the novel, the challenge we face, and the ways we can effectively address it. Really enjoyed it. It's so nice to find some optimism in the context of climate fiction!
This is so cool!! Too many years ago, I set out to write a novel showing the upside of sustainability— community, connection with the earth, good health etc. I’ve scaled back to short fiction that explores our intimacy with the natural world. We definitely need more of these solutions oriented stories. You cite MFTF’s grisly opening scene but the whole book is meant to be one long editorial of solutions in every sector of the developed world. (Intellectually interesting but not really gripping as a novel.) Looking forward to reading yours! Congratulations and thank you!
