Reading the Environment: Olga Tokarczuk's Fiction aims at analysing the dynamics of reading fiction in the context of accelerating climate change. This volume proposes an environment-oriented model of reading and applies it to a well-defined corpus-all existing English translations of Olga Tokarczuk's fiction.

Reading the Environment: Olga Tokarczuk's Fiction aims at analysing the dynamics of reading fiction in the context of accelerating climate change. This volume proposes an environment-oriented model of reading and applies it to a well-defined corpus-all existing English translations of Olga Tokarczuk's fiction. These are: Primeval and Other Times, House of Day, House of Night, Drive Your Plow Over the Bones of the Dead, Flights, The Books of Jacob and The Empusium, removed from the immediate cultural context of a single author, these novels give a representative sample of contemporary literature read by Anglophone people of diverse national backgrounds who live in different localities, but share one endangered planet, whether they realise it or not. The book charts five ways in which our reading protocols have shifted: the way of interconnectedness, the way of naturecultures, the way of sympoiesis, the way of Earth Island, and the way of the beginning of the Anthropocene. This book is written for an academic audience (postgraduates, researchers and academics) specialising in Environmental Humanities, Ecocriticism, World Literature, Postmodern Literature and Climate Fiction.
