An exceptional study of the narratives that comprise, critique, and reimagine climate crisis. * The Year's Work in English Studies * [ Bracke selects] undoubtedly excellent examples of fiction ... Brackes text admirably fulfils its aims in illuminating the pervasive effect of the ecological crisis narrative upon the post-millennial British novel. * Modern Language Review * In this clearly written and thoughtfully positioned book, Astrid Brackes alert and critical discussion extends beyond her incisive analysis of novels to consider the evolving ability of narrative itself to engage with the climate crisis of our times. * Terry Gifford, Visiting Researcher, Environmental Humanities Research Centre, Bath Spa University, UK * In a thoroughly readable and intelligent analysis, Bracke shows how 21st-century narratives work both to accommodate a growing sense of climate crisis and, conversely, to shape our responses to it. * Adeline Johns-Putra, Reader in English Literature, University of Surrey, UK * Combining ecocriticism and narratology with aplomb, Climate Crisis offers deep insights into recent literary renderings of our changing world with a focus on the human imaginings of the impossibly vast planetary scales and geological time of climate change. Bracke's research is a major contribution to cli-fi analyses in ecocriticism. * Heather Sullivan, Professor of German and Comparative Literature, Trinity University, USA *
