520 _a"Widely recognised as a leading new generation voice in world literature, Sudeep Sen’s Anthropocene: climate change, contagion, consolation is a literary and artistic response to the most urgent issues that face humanity now — climate change and the pandemic. He tackles the complexities head-on with honesty and sensitivity, without any compromise. Simultaneously engaging multiple genres — creative non-fiction, essay, prose, poetry and photography — The book interrogates our lives against the backdrop of a dangerously fraught and ever-changing landscape, on the emotional, physical, micro and macro levels. Amid all the negative noise in the world, Here is a quiet artistic offering — a testament to our fervent times where the ever-increasing ravages of climate change scar humanity, where fascist politics overrides the silence of introspection, where the cleaving schism between the rich and poor becomes ever-widening, where racism peaks at an all time high, where toxicity among people proliferates, and fake news abounds. Ultimately, the book is a plea for positivity and prayer — It urges us to slow down, to introspect, to consume less. It is time once again to learn how to love selflessly and embrace “hope, heed, heal — our song, in present tense.”--
