"Kaisa Kortekallio's book develops an innovative blend of posthumanism, narrative theory, and enactivist philosophy. Kortekallio's prose foregrounds choreographic metaphors, and that's no coincidence: the moves contained in her readings of ""mutant narratives"" offer unique affective training for reimagining the human in times of ecological crisis * Marco Caracciolo, Associate Professor of English & Literary Theory, Ghent University * What are eco-narratives for? Mutant Narratives develops the best case we have for literature’s power to attune readers’ minds and bodies to the unsettling realities of the Anthropocene. Interweaving virtuoso close readings and bold theorizing, its argument that the experience of literature trains us for posthuman life is as brilliant as it is urgent. * Pieter Vermeulen, Associate Professor of American & Comparative Literature, University of Leuven *"
