[Sherrell] moves fluently among thinkers such as Bill McKibben, Saidiya Hartman, and Maggie Nelson . . . captur[ing] the complicated correspondence between hope and doubt, faith and despair . . . [Warmth is] an achievement, reflective of the serpentine struggle with self-doubt . . . speaking to an unborn child allows [Sherrell] to extend beyond his own relative comfort, and this involves its own kind of faith, a solidarity with the world to come that we won’t see . . . remind[ing] us that there will be no further salvation from afar, only a need to look harder, and closer.
The New Yorker
NAMED A BEST BOOK OF 2021 BY THE NEW YORKER AND PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
“[Warmth] is lyrical and erudite, engaging with science, activism, and philosophy . . . [Sherrell] captures the complicated correspondence between hope and doubt, faith and despair—the pendulum of emotional states that defines our attitude toward the future.” —The New Yorker
“Beautifully rendered and bracingly honest.” —Jenny Odell, author of How to Do Nothing
From a millennial climate activist, an exploration of how young people live in the shadow of catastrophe
Warmth is a new kind of book about climate change: not what it is or how we solve it, but how it feels to imagine a future—and a family—under its weight. In a fiercely personal account written from inside the climate movement, Sherrell lays bare how the crisis is transforming our relationships to time, to hope, and to each other. At once a memoir, a love letter, and an electric work of criticism, Warmth goes to the heart of the defining question of our time: how do we go on in a world that may not?
