Altar to an Erupting Sun
あらすじ・解説
Rae Kelliher is an organizer of rituals and dance parties, a veteran environmental activist, and pioneer in the “death with dignity” movement. Her husband Reggie calls her a “instant party in a box.” In 2023, facing down a diagnosis of terminal illness, Rae engages in a shocking suicide murder, taking the life of an oil company CEO for his role in delaying responses to climate disruption. Seven years later, Rae's friends and family gather at their Vermont farm to make sense of her violent exit. They reflect on the negative political blowback, but also the ways that Rae's action unleashed a transition movement that is reshaping the face of New England.
Altar to an Erupting Sun is a near future story that addresses how we respond to climate disruption in the “critical decade” that we are living in. This is the debut novel of researcher and writer Chuck Collins whose previous books include Born on Third Base, The Wealth Hoarders, Wealth and Our Commonwealth, Economic Apartheid in America, and Robin Hood Was Right. Collins directs the Program on Inequality and the Common Good at the Institute for Policy Studies where he co-edits Inequality.org.
批評家のレビュー
"Collins not only talks the talk but walks the walk...this is a worthwhile book to read, digest, and share"—Publishers Weekly
"Written in a well-crafted, conversational style, Collins' latest is a gentle yet clear reminder to readers that real change starts by looking outside ourselves and making even the smallest connection with others."—Booklist
“Altar To An Erupting Sun starts with the unthinkable and rewinds the clock to explore what leads people to extreme actions, and the consequences of those decisions. . . . An intentionally provocative book, it will leave you with questions. . . . You’ll find yourself discussing what really matters at this critically important time in human history.”—Rivera Sun, author, The Dandelion Insurrection
