Description
From a millennial climate activist, an exploration of how young people live in the shadow of catastrophe
"Strikingly perceptive." -Jenny Offill, author of Weather
"Beautifully rendered and bracingly honest." -Jenny Odell, author of How to Do Nothing
Warmth is a new kind of book about climate change: not what it is or how we solve it, but how it feels to imagine a future-and a family-under its weight. In a fiercely personal account written from inside the climate movement, Sherrell lays bare how the crisis is transforming our relationships to time, to hope, and to each other. At once a memoir, a love letter, and an electric work of criticism, Warmth goes to the heart of the defining question of our time: how do we go on in a world that may not?
