Con la Edición Especial Verde 2025, El Malpensante abre un espacio para pensar la naturaleza no solo como escenario, sino como interrogante estético, cultural y vital. Lo esperamos en el Lanzamiento, uno de los espacios que como animalejos en vía de extinción resisten, para pensar la Tierra.
“Es cierto que aquí no somos catastrofistas, pero sí tenemos que afirmar lo siguiente con todas las letras: la Tierra nos sigue devolviendo con sargazos, sequías y ciclones las estocadas que propinamos sobre su lomo azul". Lea el texto de presentación del número en: elmalpensante.com/articulo/icebe…
Este doble número (272–273) reúne voces que exploran la relación entre literatura, arte, filosofía y ciencia con aquello que nos rodea.

@Jibunnessa @Dan_Zep @_DigitalMuseum @BGPrize @WmCollinsBooks @canongatebooks @mfbooks Very kind of you - and great to meet you!

Such a lovely conversation last Thursday between authors, @calflyn and @Dan_Zep, at the Mount Florida Bookshop in Glasgow. I was struck by Dan Richard’s humour and deep empathy towards those who toil away throughout the night to make the world both safe and function properly within the demands of our contemporary existence, while the rest of us sleep. Tales of bats picking at bandages, his clinging to life on a covid ward, cranes costing millions being manoeuvred with precision by diligent fellow humans awake on coffee and a deep sense of responsibility, sea legs through gale force winds on the Shetland Ferry and much more can be found in his book, Overnight
Bought a copy afterwards, as well as Cal Flyn’s excellent, Islands of Abandonment, which I’m now listening to on Audible. It’s a book I wish I’d thought of writing myself. But very glad Cal Flyn did. What a great title. Wonderfully written and very interesting too!

Just finished:
Islands Of Abandonment (2021) by @calflyn, a fascinating book about how nature returns when humans leave due to war, volcanoes, toxic pollution or economic collapse. A great feat of nature writing, travelogue & reportage that makes you think hard about the future.
