Tales of Two Planets

In the course of John Freeman's editorial work one major theme has come up repeatedly: how climate change is making inequalities much worse. Freeman has engaged with some of today's most eloquent writers on this issue, resulting in a collection of fiction, essays, poems, and reportage. Margaret Atwood conjures with a dystopian future in three remarkable poems. Lauren Groff takes us to Florida; Edwidge Danticat to Haiti; Tahmima Anam to Bangladesh. Eka Kurniawan takes us to Indonesia and Chinelo Okparanta to Nigeria. These are news stories, with the emphasis on story, about the most important crisis of our times.
