I found it on audible and had a delightful time listening to it while working today. It was light and fun, but also managed to take on the major issues of climate change, the cost of choices, and the development of self. Really enjoyable, and an excellent recommendation!
Jez, I’m so happy to hear that you read (so quickly!) & enjoyed!! I really liked how it balanced light/fun-ness with important topics, as you said. Hope my next recs will be just as enjoyable.. 🥰
Wow, what a thought-provoking and hopeful read — I am so excited to learn from your reflections and learn about authors and books I've never heard of before but now can't wait to read! I resonate with your comment about our tendency to underestimate the agency of all that exists around us, only seeing nature as something we act upon. It is so easy to fall into this way of thinking, so to be reminded of our mutual collaboration and agency is so important and refreshing. I can't wait to read more of your writing!!
🥹 thank you so much for your kind words, arley!! yes, exactly, underestimating the agency of those around us and assuming we only act upon nature.. not to underestimate our own impact, but also not to overlook the ways that other beings have agency, too? always looking forward to your creations as well! 🙏
Another book I'm adding to my reading list!! Thank you for sharing with us🤍 this made me think of the most recent episode of On Being on the Hope Portal with adrienne maree brown, where they reflect on the power of speculative fiction and hope as an "act of imagination." May we keep paying attention to all the possibilities emerging around us. Thank you for sharing little grove, too!! 🥹
oh, i love that so much! speculative fiction and hope as an act of imagination.. books really do change us! thank you for letting me quote little grove so profusely ☺️
this book sounds amazing—I’ll look for it the next time I visit the bookstore! everything you write resonates so deeply. especially about fantasy being such an appropriate genre for cultivating the imagination skills we need to create healthy holistic futures for ourselves and other beings on this planet… and I cherish the image of the little crab 🥹😍
