I can’t tell you the looks i got when I told people that instead of continuing to write YA novels that sold a lot of copies, I was going to write a series of small essays reviewing facets of human experience on a five-star scale.
And so I have to confess it is extremely meaningful to me that The Anthropocene Reviewed has not just hung around but found a growing audience, so much so that it will re-enter the New York Times bestseller list next week, four years after its initial publication.
Thanks to everyone who has kept that little book alive even as it becomes progressively less timely. What a joy.
