into his forthcoming collection.\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"text-align: center;\"><b>THE THREE DEVILS AND OTHER STORIES<\/b><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNoSpacing\"><span style=\"font-family: inherit;\">My first story dealing with climate change, \u201cSeason of<br \/>\nLimb Fall,\u201d was published two years before Al Gore\u2019s documentary \u201cAn<br \/>\nInconvenient Truth\u201d was released.\u00a0 The reality and horror of global<br \/>\nwarming struck me hard, and I felt I needed to write about it, which I\u2019ve done<br \/>\never since in my short fiction\u2014not exclusively but imperatively.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNoSpacing\"><span style=\"font-family: inherit;\">\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<br \/>\nMy forthcoming collection, <i>The Three Devils And Other Stories,<\/i> is a work<br \/>\nof Climate Fiction (Cli Fi), as it\u2019s known, like my 2013 collection <i>Ashes<br \/>\nRain Down: A Story Cycle<\/i> (the Huffington Post\u2019s 2013 Book of the Year and a<br \/>\nfinalist for the Next Generation Indie Book Awards).\u00a0 While I dislike<br \/>\ngenre labels and the formulaic approach to subject matter they imply, I embrace<br \/>\nClimate Fiction\u2019s use of magic or grotesque realism to bring a future<br \/>\nthreatened by climate disaster and its accompanying social upheaval to<br \/>\nlife\u2014creating a world that is at once both recognizable and grossly distorted.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNoSpacing\"><span style=\"font-family: inherit;\">In <i>The Three Devils<\/i>, the apocalypse comes to<br \/>\nSouthern California in the form of a worldwide pandemic of mythological<br \/>\nproportions and the ravages of climate change that imperil the economy and<br \/>\nsocial order and wreak havoc in people\u2019s lives in a nearly-unrecognizable near<br \/>\nfuture.\u00a0 Call it a work of dystopian or apocalyptic fiction, as well as<br \/>\nCli Fi. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNoSpacing\"><span style=\"font-family: inherit;\">Climate Fiction is intrinsically political since it<br \/>\nassumes that global warming will seriously impact our lives.\u00a0 Climate<br \/>\nchange skeptics consider this a partisan stance, but most of us who write such<br \/>\nworks see it as inevitable given our undeniably warming planet: tomorrow will<br \/>\nbe a rough ride.\u00a0 We consider it our writerly duty to enter the fray<br \/>\nrather than leave the vision of our collective future to politicians, corporate<br \/>\nexecutives, and right wing pundits. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNoSpacing\"><span style=\"font-family: inherit;\">\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<br \/>\nWhile some works of Climate Fiction have been well received, such as Octavia E.<br \/>\nButler\u2019s <i>Parable of the Sower<\/i>, Cormac McCarthy\u2019s <i>The Road<\/i>, and<br \/>\nKim Stanley Robinson\u2019s <i>The Ministry For the Future<\/i>, many publishers,<br \/>\nespecially big ones, eschew Cli Fi, as do some literary magazines, seeming to<br \/>\nconsider it unfashionably political at a time when most fiction focuses on<br \/>\npersonal and identity politics\u2014what Don DeLillo calls<br \/>\n\u201caround-the-house-and-in-the-yard\u201d fiction\u2014rather than on the larger dramas<br \/>\nthat impact us all.\u00a0 Joyce Carol Oates also bemoans current American<br \/>\nfiction\u2019s avoidance of political themes, which is a departure from the recent<br \/>\npast.\u00a0 Consider the many impactful, even prophetic socio-political novels<br \/>\nof the last century: <i>The Jungle, Invisible Man, To Kill a Mockingbird,<br \/>\nGrapes of Wrath, Fahrenheit 451, Catch 22<\/i>&#8230;to name a few.\u00a0 Since<br \/>\nthen, fiction\u2019s scope has narrowed.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNoSpacing\"><span style=\"font-family: inherit;\">\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<br \/>\nPerhaps understandably, Cli Fi is often conflated with Sci Fi.\u00a0 This puts<br \/>\noff some editors and readers, especially of literary fiction.\u00a0 While both<br \/>\ngenres are speculative and hyperbolic, the two are quite different.\u00a0 Cli<br \/>\nFi is earthbound and set in the near-future, while Sci Fi often looks far ahead<br \/>\nand far away to extraterrestrial realms.\u00a0 The monsters in Cli Fi are not<br \/>\ntwo-headed Cyborgs but earthly, natural forces spinning out of control.\u00a0 I<br \/>\nmight also suggest that while science fiction regularly challenges current<br \/>\nscientific knowledge, Climate Fiction is predicated upon global warming being<br \/>\nsettled scientific fact.\u00a0 <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNoSpacing\"><span style=\"font-family: inherit;\">\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<br \/>\nCli Fi writings that make readers uncomfortable are doing their job well.\u00a0<br \/>\nWhile such works, like all good fiction, should be engaging, dramatic,<br \/>\ncolorful, even entertaining, they are meant to wake readers up rather than lull<br \/>\nthem to sleep.\u00a0 Now, as we face what is likely the greatest existential<br \/>\nthreat humans have ever known, likely to end our civilization and drive many<br \/>\nplants and animals we love to extinction, we need to have our eyes wide open<br \/>\nand not turn our heads away.\u00a0 For publishers, readers, and writers to<br \/>\nignore or avoid this most critical issue of our time is akin to ignoring racism<br \/>\nand gender inequality as American fiction generally did prior to the last half<br \/>\nof the Twentieth Century.\u00a0
