"""In this eagerly anticipated book, MacDuffie makes a rich argument that is convincingly and expansively elaborated across the chapters and expressed in supple, erudite prose. Graceful and poignant.""—Elizabeth Carolyn Miller, University of California, Davis ""What a pleasure it was to read this gorgeously written and important book, and to learn from its humane, balanced analysis of the continuities between Darwinian denial and the kinds of dangerous unknowing characterizing the climate emergency today.""—Nathan K. Hensley, Georgetown University ""This brilliant and tonic book challenges and gives pleasure to the reader. It demonstrates the ingenious ways we seek to bypass intolerable truths like loss and extinction and climate change—and how fiction grapples us into seeking those truths.""—Dame Gillian Beer, University of Cambridge"
