PositiveThe Los Angeles Review of Books>Borne is about the need for connection among the ruins of the lives we thought we were living. It is a metaphor for the disjunction of living in the Anthropocene era: the world is changing much more rapidly than we can comprehend ... Borne throws into stark relief a central, fundamental challenge of the Anthropocene: parenting a child who may experience — and may bring about — the end of the world as we know it ... Our children are born, but we have borne them; in doing so, they have borne the consequences of our actions. They will save us — or they will destroy us.
