Plastic

Autor Allison Cobb
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 3 iun 2021

Winner of the 2022 Oregon Book Award for Creative Nonfiction

Winner of the 2022 CLMP Firecracker Award in Creative Nonfiction

Plastic: An Autobiography explores how technology, sprung from desire, draws all beings into its net, and asks how to live justly within its grasp.

In Plastic: An Autobiography, Cobb’s obsession with a large plastic car part leads her to explore the violence of our consume-and-dispose culture, including her own life as a child of Los Alamos, where the first atomic bombs were made. The journey exposes the interconnections among plastic waste, climate change, nuclear technologies, and racism. Using a series of interwoven narratives―from ancient Phoenicia to Alabama―the book bears witness to our deepest entanglements and asks how humans continue on this planet.
