Description
As a heatwave hits Paris, the author's entire existence is disrupted and disoriented by the effects of climate change. All his normal reference points are destroyed. To escape the heat and his growing anxieties, he flees to the small Mediterranean island of Porquerolles. But even in this idyllic setting, can he escape the harsh realities of the Anthropocene?
Written as a fictionalized travelogue based on the author's own experiences, Land Sickness is an inquiry into the issues raised by the climate crisis. This thought-provoking narrative will engage everyone concerned about the increasingly dire situation in which we find ourselves on our climate-damaged planet.
