With the University of Florida's IMAGINING CLIMATE CHANGE forum on Feb. 17-18 having invited Yann Quero to be one of the guest authors and speakers, here is a brief introduction to Mr Quero's work in France.
Since Cli-Fi.Net is an international cli-fi blog with an international audience, a cli-fi writer from France is coming to the UF forum, too, Mr Yann Quero. Some background news about this fascinating man is here:
In a recent email to this blog, after I made contact with him via his publishesr, Mr Quero told me:
"Yes, indeed, I wrote several climate fictions, notably two novels" :
"The White Man's Trial" ("Le Procès de l'Homme Blanc"), in 2005.
and
"The Future Will No Longer Be What It Once Was" ("L'avenir ne sera plus ce qu'il était"), in 2010.
''And I also edited an anthology of short stories by 14 authors on climate change:
"Global warming and after..." ("Le réchauffement climatique et après..."), in 2014.
[So far, those books have only been published in French].
Yann also noted:
"I am also very fond of Japan, where I have been several times. By the way, two of my "Japanese" short-stories has just been re-published by the magazine "M@nuscrit" (n°18 and 19).
"Fukushima's cats" and "Hayashi-san's Green Headband".
If your blog readers can read French, they can have a look at the following links:
another story more linked to global warming has been published in daily newspaper "Liberation" in 2013:
