Recent years have seen a burgeoning of novels that respond to the
environmental issues we currently face. Among these, Louise Squire
defines environmental crisis fiction as concerned with a range of
environmental issues and with the human subject as a catalyst for
these issues. She argues that this fiction is characterised by a
thematic use of "death," through which it explores a "crisis" of
both environment and self. Squire refers to this emergent thematic
device as "death-facing ecology". This device enables this fiction
to engage with a range of theoretical ideas and with popular
notions of death and the human condition as cultural phenomena of
the modern West. In doing so, this fiction invites its readers to
consider how humanity might begin to respond to the crisis.
