Miranda Mellis: Crocosmia, Kartoniert / Broschiert

Klappentext

Crocosmia joins hands with other utopian dreams that take seriously the real impacts of imaginative works on senses of possibility and futurity. 
A philosophical fable, Crocosmia centers on Maya as she recollects the “great turning”—an epochal shift towards egalitarian eco-socialism. She recalls growing up on a rural commune run by anarchist nuns and how her mother, Jane, created a telekinetic artwork with the uncanny power to intervene in geopolitics. Maya and Jane’s relationship enacts the tension between a life of wounded, lyrical solitude and militant, anti-statist action. This lush novella is a meditation on how, on the precipice of biospheric unraveling, dreams of communal care can bloom.
