Another stunning, dystopian read from one of my favourite fiction writers. T.C.Boyle gets the climate crisis like few other writers and this rip-roaring tale of flawed but ultimately very human characters etched its way into my consciousness over the ...more

Blue Skies by T.C. Boyle
"

Global warming is real and T.C. Boyle highlights some of the unfortunate consequences in this seriocomic, climate fiction (cli-fi) novel. California is getting drier, Florida is getting wetter, and we observe the effects through the eyes of a family " Read more of this review »

Haruki Murakami
“Everyone, deep in their hearts, is waiting for the end of the world to come.”
Haruki Murakami, 1Q84

Margaret Atwood
“I remember adapt,” says Toby. “It was another way of saying tough luck. To people you weren’t going to help out.”
Margaret Atwood, MaddAddam

Margaret Atwood
“We’re using up the Earth. It’s almost gone. You can’t live with such fears and keep on whistling. The waiting builds up in you like a tide. You start wanting it to be done with. You find yourself saying to the sky, Just do it. Do your worst. Get it over with.”
Margaret Atwood, The Year of the Flood

Kurt Vonnegut Jr.
“If flying-saucer creatures or angels or whatever were to come here in a hundred years, say, and find us gone like the dinosaurs, what might be a good message for humanity to leave for them, maybe carved in great big letters on a Grand Canyon wall? Here is this old poop's suggestion: WE PROBABLY COULD HAVE SAVED OURSELVES, BUT WERE TOO DAMNED LAZY TO TRY VERY HARD...”
Kurt Vonnegut, Fates Worse Than Death: An Autobiographical Collage

Elizabeth Kolbert
“As the effects of global warming become more and more difficult to ignore, will we react by finally fashioning a global response? Or will we retreat into ever narrower and more destructive forms of self-interest? It may seem impossible to imagine that a technologically advanced society could choose, in essence, to destroy itself, but that is what we are now in the process of doing.”
Elizabeth Kolbert, Field Notes from a Catastrophe
