In a near-future world ravaged by climate change, who will win in the struggle between humanity and nature?

A thick fog rolls in over Shivering Heights. The river overflows, the sky is streaked with toxic green, parasites proliferate in torrential rains and once safely classified species &; humans included &; are evolving and behaving in unprecedented ways. Against this poetically hostile backdrop, a biologist, Laura, fights to understand the nature and scope of the changes transforming her own body and the world around her.

Ten lush and bracing linked climate fictions depict a world gorgeous and terrifying in its likeness to our own.

Fauna, Christiane Vadnais&;s first work of fiction, won the Horizons Imaginaires speculative fiction award, the City of Quebec book award, and was named one of 2018&;s best books by Radio-Canada.

Recenzijas

"If youve ever felt hemmed in by the nature around you, whether lost in a thicket of trees, a solitary figure on a beach against the vast ocean, or feeling through a haze of fog, these interconnected stories of climate takeover will intrigue you. In Fauna, Vadnais takes the lush beauty and the terrifying expansiveness of natures power, paired with the unknowability and potentiality of climate change and melds them in these short stories. Perfect for fans of the Southern Reach trilogy, looking for more weird, lush, climate fiction." Mikey LaFave, Avid Bookshop



"... a lush, haunting book of climate fiction ... Vadnaiss prose is unsettling, imbued with a weighty, wet sensuality and an encroachment of life that is both frightening and strangely seductive in a Kafka-esque world of dread and bodily transformation. Survival and contagion swirl around each other in deadly battle as Vadnaiss characters rebel, fight, or give into the bitter, primitive hunger that threatens to swallow their world whole." Booklist, starred review, Leah von Essen

A spirited vision of the end times that reminds us that a new one will be born out of the old, as savage and alive as the previous ones primitive beginnings. La Presse

Reminiscent of Ovid, Kafka, and Wells ... [ Fauna] depicts the hypnotic Darwinian nightmare our negligence and denial will lead us to in the coming years. Le Devoir

Vadnaiss language is precise, rich in imagery, unsettling. The quality of the writing makes for a raw, searing read. LExpress

"With a devotion to language, to rhythm, to imagery (beautifully translated by Pablo Strauss) Vadnais injects a mythical, even scriptural quality to the stark realities of global warming." Locus Magazine

"The central question of the book is whether or not it is time for humanity to get back to wilder times, and Vadnais rightly leaves the answer to that important question up to the reader." Understory Magazine
