Aprašymas
Combining fabulism and climate fiction, the ten stories in Love Letters to a Future Ice Age survey strange, broken versions of the world that shatter our understanding of grief, labor, and solitude. The characters in this collection must adapt to the rising tides of change-some stubbornly, some willingly-or else be swept away entirely.
In "The Cake," a drought-stricken town becomes obsessed with a confection served only at funerals. "When All The Ketchup Turned to Water" features two women plotting the demise of the ketchup factory where they live and work. And in "Pollution," a man tries to rescue his boyfriend from a cult of influencers who imbibe pollutants.
Haunting, timely, and revelatory, Love Letters to a Future Ice Age asks us to consider how we navigate an unnavigable world in flux. Through these warped lenses, Jonathan Wlodarski's debut establishes him as an exciting and imaginative voice.
