Thanks as always for a timely and thought provoking post. This will stick with me. "interplay between the kind of power women can and do have, and the negative space that can so easily open up and swallow us when we get stuck in a loop of second guessing, deference, and shame. When we believe we’re not good enough. And when that happens, Kiesling and Groff seem to be saying, it’s not just women who suffer, it’s the earth itself."
I want to read both those novels now as well. AND listen to you on a podcast (which of course, you'd never tell me about or post on social media...because, hmmm, you shy away from the limelight)
Appreciating the way you're bringing in so many threads--this time, how climate is being grappled with in fiction--to create a wholistic way of understanding and being with climate. Also, the good news, especially the renewable energy growth rates, was really heartening this week!

Now I really want to read Mobility! I sensed you have a lot more to say on the theme here. I hope write future posts on it.
