Aidan Tynan provocatively rethinks some of the core assumptions of
ecocriticism and the environmental humanities. Showing the
significance of deserts and wastelands in literature since the
Romantics, he argues that the desert has served to articulate
anxieties over the cultural significance of space in the
Anthropocene. He explores the ways in which Nietzsche's warning
that 'the desert grows' has been taken up by Heidegger, Derrida and
Deleuze in their critiques of modernity. And he looks at how the
desert has been a terrain of desire over which the Western
imagination of space and place has range, in writings from T.S
Eliot to Don DeLillo, from imperial travel writing to
postmodernism; and from the Old Testament to salvagepunk.
