Stillicide is an exciting entry into the expanding literary climate fiction canon, a category that includes celebrated work like Louise Erdrichs’ Future Home of the Living God and Claire Vaye Watkins’ Gold Fame Citrus
Cynan Jones is a decorated Welsh writer with a cult following for his spare, explosive works like The Dig and his fiction writing in the New Yorker; Stillicide’s of-the-moment vision of impending climate crisis presents an opportunity to reach a wider readership in the US
Through powerfully human individual stories, Stillicide builds an alarmingly plausible world where water is scarce and commodified
In a starred review of Cove (2018), Publishers Weekly described Jones as “a master of the power of less.” Jones’s unforgettable prose is all the more impactful for what is not included; he writes, “by revealing little details, implications, readers form a relationship with the character based on their own understanding, not my insistence."
Acquired and edited by Catapult editor in chief Jonathan Lee
