Coming of Age at the End of Our World
by Daniel Sherrell
From a millennial climate activist, an exploration of how young people live in the shadow of catastrophe.
Warmth is a new kind of book about climate change: not what it is or how we solve it, but how it feels to imagine a future--and a family--under its weight. In a fiercely personal account written from inside the climate movement, Sherrell lays bare how the crisis is transforming our relationships to time, to hope, and to each other. At once a memoir, a love letter, and an electric work of criticism, Warmth goes to the heart of the defining question of our time: how do we go on in a world that may not?
"Climate activist Sherrell brilliantly balances despair and hope in his searing debut that confronts the impending climate catastrophe...This indelible, necessary work makes a global issue deeply personal." - Publishers Weekly (starred review)
"[Warmth] will validate the fears, grief, and nostalgia that readers of any generation feel about the future of our planet. There is much collective comfort to be found while naming the specifics of such an overwhelming topic, and Sherrell offers that comfort generously on every page." - Booklist (starred review)
"[A] fresh take on climate change...Insightful reflections from a thoughtful, energetic activist." - Kirkus Reviews
"Sherrell's strikingly perceptive book is neither a prescription for hope or for despair, but a call for a clear-eyed examination of one of the most pressing questions of our time—what do we owe the next generation?" - Jenny Offill, New York Times bestselling author of Weather and Dept. of Speculation
"Beautifully rendered and bracingly honest, this book helped me do the impossible: live in the space between grief and hope." - Jenny Odell, New York Times bestselling author of How to Do Nothing
"Searchingly honest, this fine book is the work of someone actively engaged in the most important fight of our time (maybe of all time), and also of a writer able to establish the necessary distance. Dan Sherrell is smart, obviously, but he's also something much more important: open, vulnerable, able to face fully that which we all must grapple with in this overheating century." - Bill McKibben, New York Times bestselling author of Falter
