Quotes
“the great, irreplaceable potentiality of fiction is that it makes possible the imagining of possibilities.”
The Great Derangement: Climate Change and the Unthinkable “at exactly the time when it has become clear that global warming is in every sense a collective predicament, humanity finds itself in the thrall of a dominant culture in which the idea of the collective has been exiled from politics, economics, and literature alike.”
