Summary/Abstract: Review of: The Politics of Literature in a Divided 21st Century By Katharina Donn New York, NY: Routledge, 2021 Katharina Donn’s book, “The Politics of Literature in a Divided 21st Century”, is an impressive research made with the aim of exploring fictional worlds from an ecocritical perspective. Providing a diatopian literary politics, the research reconfigures the notions of political agency, voices, bodies and borders, tackling issues of current interest, such as migration, biopolitics, metamorphosis, terrorism, trauma. Fictional worlds are perceived as containers of transgressive and interrelated realities, militating for humans to become active, interconnected and future-oriented participants.
