View this email in your browser Hi friends! Welcome to the Burning Worlds newsletter. This month marks the one-year anniversary of my "Burning Worlds" cli-fi column at theChicago Review of Books. The column is dedicated to exploring how contemporary fiction addresses climate change. This newsletter takes that focus one step further by linking to interviews, essays, and other great writing by people around the world who are also exploring how literature  --  and other types of art--    are grappling with climate change.
