Winner of the 2018 Magnesia Litera Prize for prose, the novel tells the story of a global village called Earth, the illogic of racism and the inscrutable ways of the heart
You've never been to India in your life, imagine that. Now you find yourself in Bangalore, India, amidst the noise, the smell, the traffic and the people, and you have no defence against it. You're in the safety of a hotel and a conference center, and yet you're scared as a little rabbit. You venture out and reach the slum. In the uncluttered crowd of women in saris, you will see an Indian girl in a plain T-shirt and jeans. You take a picture of it because it's the only thing that doesn't scare you. She notices and tells you in fluent English to delete her photo immediately. You shrug your shoulders, comply and put the whole story behind you.
The novella Love in the Age of Global Climate Change is about the global village called Earth, the illogic of racism and the inscrutable ways of the heart, and most importantly, how we all fear change while the biggest one is happening around us and over our heads.
