Apocalypse Soon! Discussing The Man with the Compound Eyes by Wu Ming-Yi


Listen Later

Last week we panned The Man with the Compound Eyes.  This week we discuss whether looking at this book from an ecocritical perspective can rescue this work from irrelevance.  Join us as Eyad explains how those brainy ivory tower nerds might help us understand the real meaning of this book after all.
This is the second book in our series on climate fiction.  We started this series with A Children‘s Bible by Lydia Millet and will also read Weather by Jenny Offill.
