With apologies for the delay, my new novel The Way We Leave is now available. Click here.
The Way We Leave is the story of a contemporary love affair set against a backdrop of environmental catastrophe, deep aeons of time, and the quandary of being human at the end of history and the end of nature.
Every other climate change-related novel I've seen in future-set and dystopian. The Way We Leave is neither. It's very much set in the present day, and concerns ordinary people living out their lives in an utterly changed world. It would have been easy for me to write a dystopian drama I think but that wasn't the book I wanted to do. As the narrator of the novel says, ‘Cataclysm abounds these days. It has become our entertainment. It has become our pornography.’
