Produktbeschreibung

A revelatory novel (or parable) of art, adventure, and radical politics, set in a world on the precipice.

A philosophical fable, Crocosmia centers on Maya as she recollects the great turninga moment of radical social and ecological change effected in part by the art of her mother, Jane. As Maya recalls her upbringingfrom a commune run by anarchist nuns to a time of rural isolation before her mother's disappearanceMellis's prose gorgeously conjures a life defined by revolutionary thought and action and the interplay and tension between family life and political commitment. At once a fantasy, a handbook to political thought, and a work of eco-fiction, this lush novel meditates on how, in a world on the precipice, dreams of communal care can bloom.
