Listen to Richard Powers on BBC Radio 4's Start the Week
Richard Powers discussed Bewilderment, climate anxiety and the next generation of climate change activists on BBC Radio 4’s Start the Week the week after being shortlisted for the Booker Prize.
‘I do believe that we human beings are more susceptible to reflecting on and coming to terms with a changing world by hearing stories about people and by using that unique narrative power to imagine themselves into the lives of other people,’ he said.
Joining him in the discussion were Mya-Rose Craig, aka ‘birdgirl’, a young British-Bangladeshi ornithologist and activist, and journalist Simon Mundy.
