The first entry in the author's Southern Reach trilogy, 'Annihilation,' revolutionized climate change speculative fiction with its unique blend of weird fiction and eco-horror, crafting an unforgettable experience for readers.
For most of my reading life, mimetic realism was the admired mode of literature among critics, reviewers, and professors. The various literatures of the fantastic, those tales which prioritize the writer's imagination above lived experience, have been, for reasons unclear to me, suspect- either childish or escapist or lacking in subtlety or deficient in characterization. That they are often none of these things had little impact on their reception. Fortunately, this has changed.
