With admirable thoroughness Adam Trexler has traced over 150 novels that are about climate change in one sense or another. He highlights the profound cultural shifts that are accompanying this phenomenon and underlines the novelty of the artistic challenges it represents for novelists. This result is an original and thoughtful book that must become an important reference point for future work in environmental criticism and in studies of the novel.
--Timothy Clark, Durham UniversityAs an extremely timely contribution to the urgent discussions of climate change and culture in the Anthropocene, Anthropocene Fictions deserves high praise for carefully documenting the longer history of climate change novels as well as projecting forward into the uncertain futures of postapocalyptic writings. Trexler's provocative theory of 'eco-nomics, ' or the inextricably intertwined aspects of ecological and economic choices made in our industrial cultures as we navigate rising waters and rising costs in the twenty-first century, is one with wide relevance for anyone interested in the cultural impact of global environmental change.
--Heather I. Sullivan, Trinity University, author of The Cambridge Introduction to Literature and the EnvironmentReaders interested in ecoliterature will find this book a must read.
--Choice[A]n interesting and provocative look into the relationship between literary climate fiction and the changing global climate it describes.... Overall, Anthropocene Fictions provides important, critical insight into the relationship between fiction and science, with sufficient attention to its implications for how we think about climate change.
