An essay on the climate crisis by Erri De Luca.
Erri De Luca's essay is a lovesong to the young—"a bridge generation, one that casts itself above and beyond the current, not against it, in order to reach the edge of a new humanity"—as well as an intervention into the climate crisis. It is a clarion call that finds salvation, as he puts it, "in the hands of despair." Jim Hicks
