Set in the late 19th century, this novel intricately weaves together the lives of sailors, exploring themes of camaraderie, bravery, and the harsh realities of maritime life. Bloundelle-Burton's vivid prose and meticulous attention to detail illuminate the treacherous beauty of the sea while delving into the psychological depths of its characters, reflecting the literary trends of the time that privilege realism and character-driven storytelling. John Bloundelle-Burton, a master storyteller and adventurer, was influenced by his own seafaring experiences and extensive travels. Born in 1852, he was an English author whose passion for exploration bred a deep appreciation for the complexities of human nature and the physical challenges posed by the sea. His background in history and literature informed his writing, imbuing "The Seafarers" with both authenticity and intellectual rigor, as he draws parallels between the human condition and the vast, unpredictable ocean. This novel is recommended for readers who crave thrilling maritime escapades coupled with profound philosophical musings. Whether you are a lover of historical fiction or an admirer of character-driven narratives, "The Seafarers" promises an enthralling voyage across the waves, revealing not only the depths of the ocean but also the intricacies of the human spirit.

    Climate disaster–induced fugue states, mutinous polar bears, support groups for recently displaced millionaires, men who hear trees, and women who lose their wives on environmental refugee resettlement trips. In these dispatches from a weirding world, the absurd and fantastic are increasingly indistinguishable from reality. Exploring this liminal moment, Ashley Shelby's collection of climate fictions imagines a near future that is both unnervingly familiar and subversively strange. 
     
     
     
    Set in the same post-climate-impact era, these stories range from playfully satirical to poignantly humane, bending traditional narrative forms and coming together into a brilliant and unusual contemplation of our changing world. Featuring the Hugo-nominated novelette "Muri," Honeymoons in Temporary Locations processes the unthinkable through riotous inventions like guided tours of submerged cities, Craigslist ads placed by climate refugees, and cynical pharmaceutical efforts to market a drug to treat solastalgia, the existential distress caused by environmental change. 
     
     
     
    Shelby reengineers the dystopic bleakness that characterizes so much climate fiction by embracing an eclectic experimentalism leavened with humor, irony, and the inevitable bathos that characterizes the human experience. Unexpected and clever, this innovative collection confirms her status as a visionary writer whose work expands the forms, attitudes, and possibilities of climate fiction.
