Описание книги

In a near-future world ravaged by climate change, who will win in the struggle between humanity and nature? A thick fog rolls in over Shivering Heights. The river overflows, the sky is streaked with toxic green, parasites proliferate in torrential rains and once safely classified species – humans included – are evolving and behaving in unprecedented ways. Against this poetically hostile backdrop, a biologist, Laura, fights to understand the nature and scope of the changes transforming her own body and the world around her. Ten lush and bracing linked climate fictions depict a world gorgeous and terrifying in its likeness to our own. Fauna , Christiane Vadnais’s first work of fiction, won the Horizons Imaginaires speculative fiction award, the City of Quebec book award, and was named one of 2018’s best books by Radio-Canada.

CHRISTIANE VADNAIS

TRANSLATED BY PABLO STRAUSS

.....

Above, the rainstorm marshals its forces.

That night Heather makes a meal of roots and berries, fragrant herbs, and other items foraged from the grounds. On the dining room’s sole table she lays out a black mushroom stew, a tart earthy soup, and tiny whole fish with fire-blackened heads. She eats voraciously. Determined to relax, Agnes sits at the table and deliberately chases all thoughts from her mind. She has taken her time getting dressed, called her assistant, then turned off her phone again – for good this time, she is determined. With a few important matters dispatched, she can relax. Rest has brought on a new-found clarity, even as the edges of the world blur behind a curtain of rain.
