Reviews
Narrative in the Anthropocene is both a stellar review of narrative theory, in general, and a call to action to address the social and ecological challenges of the Anthropocene. Narrative theorists, literary ecocritics, science writers, and even film and comics scholars will discover countless essential propositions to inspire their own work. --Eric C. Otto, author of Green Speculations: Science Fiction and Transformative Environmentalism

Otto, author of Green Speculations: Science Fiction and Transformative Environmentalism"
""A timely and thought-provoking study ... Goes a long way in offering a lucidly written theoretical base for the concern with storytelling in the environmental humanities ... Innovates by registering crucial shifts and offering necessary reorientations."" --Julia Hoydis, Anglistik ""James' contribution to the field of ecocriticism is a clearer understanding of how narrative works in the Anthropocene. By guiding readers' awareness of the role that narrative structure plays in worldbuilding, James provides a compelling argument for how narrative theory illuminates epochal key ideologies, challenges, and possibilities."" --Pamela Carralero, ISLE ""The strong point of this work is precisely in widening the definition of what constitutes 'narrative' and consequently discovering common interests between scientists, artists, and scholars. James then provides a toolkit for the evaluation of our own work--and others'--that addresses some of the challenges that all of us face when 'worldbuilding for some purpose' in the Anthropocene."" --Emily Baker, Modern Language Review ""Narrative in the Anthropocene is both a stellar review of narrative theory, in general, and a call to action to address the social and ecological challenges of the Anthropocene. Narrative theorists, literary ecocritics, science writers, and even film and comics scholars will discover countless essential propositions to inspire their own work."" --Eric C.
