About the book

This book indicates that postmodern literature might reveal much in common with radical environmental movements. It also offers discussions for how an ecological postmodern literary theory can provide significant contributions to the paradigm shift in social and individual dimensions before the extant environmental crisis turns into a deeper turmoil. In this context, concerning ecological images and environmental discussions they provide, A History of the World in 10 ½ Chapters by Julian Barnes, Cloud Atlas by David Mitchell and The Collector by John Fowles are analyzed through the lens of such radical ecological movements like deep ecology, social ecology and ecofeminism. Baturay Erdal received his Ph.D. from Istanbul Yeni Yüzyıl University. He gives lectures in the areas of green studies and contemporary novels in the Department of English Literature, Aydın Adnan Menderes University. His research interests also include literary theories, ecofiction and postmodern literature.
