Why read it?

Min Hyoung Song makes a strong case not only for the creation of more climate-centric literature but also for reading the climate into books that are not about the climate crisis.
Song’s style is also very readable despite being a theory book. I was greatly moved by how he wrote about climate-related despair and hope and how he spoke frankly about what he believed literature could teach us in these times.
