This book applies the analytical methods of third-wave ecocriticism
to selected twenty-first century Italian literary works. Turning
abstract issues into narrative form, literary writing increases
awareness of environmental issues as well as exerting a deep
emotive influence on its readership. The author analyses Roberto
Saviano's "Gomorra", Kai Zen's "Delta blues", Wu Ming's "Previsioni
del tempo", Simona Vinci's "Rovina", Giancarlo di Cataldo's
"Fuoco!", Laura Pugno's "Sirene", and Alessandra Montrucchio's "E
poi la sete". He demonstrates that these works offer an invaluable
opportunity to communicate meaningfully and accessibly the
discomforting truths of global environmental change.
