- Summary:
- "A first collection of graphic stories about climate change and eco-anxiety. Coined by Elizabeth Rush, 'endsickness' is a term that describes our modern malaise and severe anxiety over the end of the world. For Alarcon, it's also a shorthand way of describing our culture's current obsession with all things dystopian and apocalyptic. Climate change is often referred to as a hyperobject: so large in scope and scale that it's difficult to see or understand the entirety of it. In Endsickness, each story attempts to counter that challenge by taking a close look at the individual quandaries of living in a society that seems at odds with itself, unable to face the existential threat looming on the horizon."-- Provided by publisher.
