Wild Fictions by Amitav Ghosh - Paperback - 9781529349399

Wild Fictions is a compelling collection of writings by Amitav Ghosh that spans over twenty-five years of intellectual exploration. In this collection, Ghosh tackles a wide array of subjects close to his heart—literature, language, climate change, human history, and the environments we inhabit. Through his deep reflections on topics such as the commodification of the clove, the diversity of West Bengal’s mangrove forests, and the fluidity of multilingualism, Ghosh provides a striking and expansive perspective on the world.
A passionate refutation of imperial violence and a fascinating exploration of the fictions we create to process history, Wild Fictions calls for empathy and understanding in our fractured world. With his signature blend of intellectual curiosity, moral clarity, and literary elegance, Ghosh challenges us to rethink our relationships with each other and the volatile landscapes we share.
Join one of the world’s most celebrated writers in a journey that reshapes how we see history, language, and the environment.
