Dead and Alive
Smith gives a masterclass in the modern essay. In Dead and Alive, Zadie Smith once again confirms that she is among the most expert essayists of her generation . . . Even when she writs about death, disillusionment, or the absurdity of fame, “protect your consciousness,” she advises, and this book feels like an act of protection in itself – an argument for stillness, attention, and moral imagination in a distracted world. Smith has written a generous, fiercely intelligent collection that reminds us why essays matter. They keep us awake, alive, and, in Smith’s words, “just human enough to hope”

Decolonizing Wilderness Adventure Narratives
For some outdoor enthusiasts, the word “wilderness” means “free of people”. This book shows that many beloved stories of outdoor adventure forget that people have lived in and with the natural spaces of North America since long before Europeans arrived. When we read Western narratives in partnership with Indigenous authored narratives, a new paradigm of human-nature relations begins to emerge.Divided into three sections, the book creates a conversation between texts by non-Indigenous and Indigenous writers. Nature adventure stories by non-Indigenous writers can re-colonize space and perceptions of space whereas narratives from Indigenous writers demonstrate that “nature” (or land) is neither empty nor ownable—not an object but rather a relation. The first section, “Growing,” delves into literature for children and young adults about adventures in outdoor spaces. “Moving” explores the joy and struggle of outdoor athleticism, and “Dwelling,” examines stories of “being in place” to seek out how relationship with land is defined.As Cree writer Harold Johnson has pointed out, stories define our inner worlds and then also come to define the outer world around us. This book brings together two very different approaches to nature writing to initiate a dialogue between Western and Indigenous literary responses to experiencing land. Ultimately, Decolonizing Wilderness Adventure Narratives aims to reorient the stories of the land (including its peoples) from one of ownership to one of respectful relationship.

Barbara Kingsolver's World
Nature, Art, and the Twenty-First Century, Revised EditionOne of the most insightful—and prolific—of American literary scholars, Linda Wagner-Martin here offers an excellent eco-critical reading of Barbara Kingsolver’s work, written in Wagner-Martin’s lucid, accessible prose. Focusing on what she calls ‘the reciprocity between the human and the natural,’ Wagner-Martin discusses natural elements even in those Kingsolver works—such as The Lacuna—that are usually viewed as political novels. She is especially good on Kingsolver’s new and ‘strangely foreboding’ Flight Behavior.
