NEW: "Which is more likely to enable us to find pathways through what is coming: reading the latest #IPCC report, or a truly immersive piece of climate fiction?"
In my piece for @darkmtn I take a look at #TheDeluge by Stephen Markley. Contains spoilers!
"No, man. You can wish you were dead all you want. But don't pretend there's anything heroic about it. All the bumper stickers and parades and 'thank a veteran for your freedom' bullshit - all the pedastelizing. All the movies. All that isn't for the guys who went. It's for the next time. How else do you get children in Oklahoma City or Fallujah to kill people they've never met? Convince them they'll be heroes."
WATCH: What a pleasure to introduce bestselling #author Stephen Markley and listen to him talk about his "masterful American epic" novel, #TheDeluge, and the inspiration behind it.

The Deluge von Stephen Markley wird einem in diesem Review ganz schmackhaft gemacht, trotz der stolzen 900 Seiten ('schnief'). Mal schauen, ob ich mich wirklich heranwage

The Deluge ist das beeindruckendste Buch, das ich seit Jahren (vielleicht jemals) gelesen habe und ich werde noch oft zu ihm zurückkehren. Es ist mir ganz unglaublich nah gegangen und wenn man nach nur einem Buch Fan eines Autors werden kann, dann bin ich nun Markley-Fan.
