>The climate crisis casts a much smaller shadow on literary fiction than it does on the world. We are living through a crisis of culture – and of the imagination

Why don't you go and write the first masterpiece about climate change /lit/ ?

There's plenty of fiction about climate change on the internet. Just ask one of your liberal friends for article and blog suggestions.

I'm looking for bonafide literary fiction, not blogposts.

I read a work from Bruno Latour on climate change but it sounds like he doesn't know what he wants to state really

I dunno about that, I mean this topic has potential for novels of great scope (I'm thinking akin XIXth century literature) but all these novels look like garbage sci fi or worse young adults novels or maybe it's just the artwork used, but I mean it looks like they won't explore anything beyond the effects while we got enough scientific papers for this, they don't go to the existential aspect of the problem (what does it mean for mankind as a whole to be screwing itself and do nothing about it/not to be able to do a thing)

Climate change is so poorly understood by the general public, I'm not sure enough people would care to read about it. Wouldn't it fall under the Dystopia or Post apocalypse genre?

Not really dystopia I think, more post apocalyptic
