This open access book argues that storytelling is an important
resource in coming to terms with the loss of the feeling of living
a grounded existence where the future remains relatively stable and
predictable. Faced with the specter of climate catastrophe, we lose
confidence in the future—a well-documented response in the
environmental movement, for example. Yet stories, and in particular
sophisticated fictional stories, can help us negotiate that
uncertainty: they offer affective and imaginative tools that
channel the instability of our climate future and invite audiences
to accept its fundamental uncertainty. In all, this book represents
a serious contribution to the environmental humanities that brings
a flexible formal approach to bear on central questions of our
time. Its commentary on contemporary works of prose and digital
narrative is an aid for navigating climate uncertainty and
appreciating the more-than-human scale—but also the tragic
ramifications—of the ecological crisis. The eBook editions of
this book are available open access under a CC BY-NC-ND 4.0 licence
on bloomsburycollections.com. Open access was funded by The
European Research Council and the University of Ghent.
