The Great Derangement

Climate Change and the Unthinkable
Book • 2016
Amitav Ghosh's "The Great Derangement" is a powerful exploration of the relationship between climate change and literature.

Ghosh argues that the dominant narratives of our time have failed to adequately address the climate crisis.

He examines how literature, history, and politics have shaped our understanding of the world and contributed to our current predicament.

The book challenges readers to rethink our relationship with the environment and consider the ethical implications of climate change.

It's a thought-provoking work that blends literary analysis with environmental concerns.
