"Recent years have seen a burgeoning of novels that respond to the environmental issues
we currently face. Among these, Louise Squire defines environmental crisis fiction
as concerned with a range of environmental issues and with the human subject as a
catalyst for these issues. She argues that this fiction is characterized by a thematic
use of "death," through which it explores a "crisis" of both environment and self.
Squire refers to this emergent thematic device as "death-facing ecology". This device
enables this fiction to engage with a range of theoretical ideas and with popular
notions of death and the human condition as cultural phenomena of the modern West.
In doing so, this fiction invites its readers to consider how humanity might begin
to respond to the crisis"
