"With the collapse of ecosystems and the extinction of species comes the Grief: an unstoppable melancholia that ends in suicide. When Ruby's friend, mourning the loss of the Great Barrier Reef, succumbs to the Grief, the letters she leaves behind reveal the hidden world of the resurrected dead. The Tasmanian tiger, brought back from extinction in an isolated facility, is only the first... but rebirth is not always biological, and it comes with a price. As a scientist, Ruby resists the Grief by focusing her research on resilient jellyfish, but she can't avoid choosing which side she's on. How can she fight against the dead and the forces behind them when doing so risks her home, her life, and the entire biosphere?"--… (mehr)

I read about this on twitter and I ordered it immediately. A near future imagining of what it does to people to watch so many species and habitats fall to extinction. Certain people fall to the Grief, which always ends in suicide. Or does it? Disturbing and full of so many challenging and uncomfortable thoughts about our relationships to other species, other people, to the environment in general. Incredibly timely. ( )

The weight of this slim novella sends a riptide of vision into the reader within the first few pages, and Cade's powerful prose and storytelling never let up from there. As the story unfolds, becoming all too real a something that I could envision for our struggling world, what begins as horror and sorrow moves forward into a terrain of wonderfully careful suspense and revelation which, in the end, comes full circle to the emotions Cade pushed on the reader to begin with. Despite wanting to look away, I read the second half of this novella in one sitting, and the weight of it will stay with me for some time.

Absolutely recommended. ( )

Climate horror looking at the idea of watching while something or someone dies. Hits some of the same thematic elements as The Stone Wētā but is much more individualistic. Here, the threat is from individuals mad with grief, rather than a oppressive global government conspiracy to suppress knowledge. ( )

As species and habitats are lost to global warming and pollution people are increasingly stricken with the Grief, and once stricken, suicide is inevitable. The narrator loses her close friend to the grief and later seeks to know more when sent letters the friend wrote to someone in Tasmania. Brought forward are not only the many human caused extinctions of species but of native populations emphasizing our murderous, uncaring nature. Any resolution brought forward is bleak. Grief indeed.

THE IMPOSSIBLE RESURRECTION OF GRIEF by Octavia Cade

The synopsis of the book seemed like it might be enjoyable. In reality, however, it was something that I was unable to get interested in. I tried many, many times. I always like to give a book every chance to succeed, before I give up on it. With this book, it was doubly sad, since it was only an 82-page novella.

I received a complimentary copy from #netgalley @netgalley of #theimpossibleresurrectionofgrief and was under no obligation to post a review. ( )
