"In its regard for other-than-human Earthlings—acknowledging that they exist, that our lives and stories are also theirs, that they engage in a porous exchange—Sea Now joins Meijer’s rich oeuvre of novels and philosophical meditations on multispecies coexistence." 🌊🐃 🐋
For ASYMPTOTE I wrote about Eva Meijer’s soft-spoken disaster novel, SEA NOW, translated from the Dutch by Anna Thompson Melo, published by @twolinespress.com and Peirene Press.
