“Reading Climate Fiction with Tatiana Konrad”
By Sebastian Deiber
In the interview about her book, Climate Change Fiction and Ecocultural Crisis: The Industrial Revolution to the Present (University of Nevada Press, 2024), Tatiana Konrad told Rudolphina how popular narratives reflect, interpret, and respond to climate change. Through the lens of climate fiction, Tatiana Konrad demonstrates that these stories are more than just fiction—they serve as a powerful tool to imagine, understand, and even forecast climate crisis. Although devoted primarily to the topic of climate change, the book also addresses such issues as environmental pollution and the COVID-19 pandemic.
