Markku Lehtimaeki's stimulating close readings help us see how the rhetoric of contemporary fiction grapples with a wide range of ecological questions, addressing the colonial roots of the climate crisis while imagining its destabilizing influence on everyday life.- Marco Caracciolo, Associate Professor, Ghent University, Belgium
Nature and Narrative: Rhetoric and Design in Contemporary Fiction is a timely and important contribution to the ecocritical and eco-narratological discussion. Combining environmental literary studies with rhetorical narrative theory and emphasizing humanist ecocriticism, the book sheds new light on a range of prominent novels from the 21st century.
- Alice Sundman,Postdoctoral Researcher, Stockholm University, Sweden
