I had been meaning to read Amitav Ghosh for quite a while, and finally started with one of his smaller works. It should be noted that this book was published right before the Trump era began in 2016, which means he didn't anticipate America to back off from major climate agreements and deals, though heavily implied that the imperialist countries are shaking their hands off the core issue. A lot of personal experiences have been woven in, in addition to focus on India -- which hits the issue closer to home. The author talks about the colonial imprint and the imbalance of world powers resulting in the big bully nations beating down on the developing nations for their lunch money. I am unsure how much of his argument on novels or media not highlighting climate change is relevant anymore, with movies like Don't Look Up or The Guilty making it seem very real. Overall, a decent read but can't be considered to be a well-rounded analysis of the subject.
