Books by Nathaniel Rich

The old distinctions - between natural and artificial, dystopia and utopia, science fiction and science fact - have blurred, losing all meaning. We inhabit an uncanny landscape of our own creation. From Odds Against Tomorrow to Losing Earth to the film Dark Waters (adapted from the first chapter of this book), Nathaniel Rich''s stories and reporting have come to define the way we think of contemporary ecological narrative. In Second Nature, he asks what it means to live in an era of terrible responsibility. The question is no longer, How do we return to the world that we''ve lost? It is, What world do we want to create in its place?

The most urgent story of our times, brilliantly reframed, beautifully told: how we had the chance to stop climate change, and failed.

From one of the most inventive writers of his generation, King Zeno is a historical crime novel and a searching inquiry into man's dreams of immortality.

A novel that features Eugene Brentani, a young man and devotee of the reclusive author and adventurer Constance Eakins, who goes to Trieste to find the girl he loves, who has in turn gone there herself to find Eakins; and Mr Schmitz, an old man whose wife is dying, and who longs to confide in his dear friend Rutherford.
