On Time and Water
On Time and Water has been hailed by authors, climate scientists and media across the globe as a beautiful, literary way to look directly at the climate crisis; one that even offers hope at the future. Andri Snær Magnason wasn’t a climate scientist or specialist when he began this process but, he explains, “If you cannot understand our scientific findings and present them in an emotional, psychological, poetic or mythological context … then no one will really understand the issue, and the world will end.” How, then, did the public intellectual—and one of Iceland’s most beloved writers—begin this vital challenge? Discover that and more—including how one writes an obituary for a glacier, and how our understanding of human time can support a greater understanding of our obligations to one another.
