Okay everyone, I need your help. I'm a philosopher and a literature scholar who has taken a theological turn, and I need to find out who ought to receive copies of Hell: In Search of a Christian Ecology. It comes out on April 22, 2024 (Earth Day).
Did you know that interest in this book has caused my blog to get double the hits it was getting during the Hyperobjects days, where from 2010 to 2013 I was doing a lot of lectures on that topic and publishing all kinds of things, the book included, about them?
When I say double I mean up to 100,000 a day. Did you know the blog could get those kinds of hits? Neither did I!? And I haven't done a single lecture or interview about the new book. Hyperobjects sold out its first edition before it even appeared on Amazon.
Hell is going to be huge.
So I'm pouring a lot of effort into really thinking about who ought to receive this book. As you may know, I don't have an agent, and I do all this stuff all by myself.
But I don't get out a lot. I literally have my head in the clouds. It's taken me weeks for example to remember that I was interviewed by BBC Newsnight about Humankind (did you know that?), so I could tell Columbia to contact them about this.
So please please comment below. I will be forever in your debt. What you share can be as popular or as niche as you wish.

Do you have a TOC or a blurb for it? Are you covering Boehme, Blake & Wordsworth? Thoreau, Emerson & Alcott? Or is it a new philosophical treatise by you?
ReplyDeleteI've read a lot of Arthur Versluis's books; he has one called: Esotericism, Religion, and Nature, Versluis et al., eds., (North American Academic Press / MSU Press, 2010). https://arthurversluis.com/sample-page/
I searched for some books & discovered some of the following:
I wonder if you cover the Laudato Si of the Catholic Church https://catholicclimatecovenant.org/encyclical. I found the scholar Catherine Wright wrote a book on that (I've not read) https://www.thewrightecotheologian.com/about. I've just noted that the Pope does speak out on this topic. I also found Dr. Celia Deane-Drummond at Oxford https://www.theology.ox.ac.uk/people/professor-celia-deane-drummond (wow, I'll have to read some of her works). Denis Edwards also came up: https://lsri.campion.ox.ac.uk/denis-edwards-visiting-fellowship
David Lagourie Gosling is at Cambridge https://www.routledge.com/authors/i19614-david-gosling
I can't find contact information for David Landis Barnhill https://www.ucpress.edu/book/9780520216846/at-home-on-the-earth
I've been reading on panpscyhism: Peter Ells, David Skrbina, Philip Goff, etc. Not sure if that factors into your text.
Emma T, I do in fact know some people in the Vatican and will be contacting them about this book really soon. I used to work in Lambeth Palace and met Desmond Tutu there, ages ago! So your point, though perhaps made flippantly, is very well taken.
ReplyDeleteThanku you very much indeed Catherine--yes I do write about Laudato Si!
ReplyDeleteI'm incredibly grateful for all the help you're giving here.

The env. humanities field needs this! I think you already know Whitney Bauman, but I hope he knows about what you're doing with HELL.
ReplyDeleteI think Dante scholars should know what you're writing about (he was the first to illustrate Hell for us moderns), even though to-date there's been very little crossover with contemporary ecological thought. I would suggest writing to
- Dante Society of America and their journal Dante Studies
dantesociety@gmail.com
The Dante Society of America, Inc.
P.O. Box 600800
Newtonville, MA 02460
and some individual scholars split between US/UK who are working on contemporary readings of Hell
- Manuele Gragnolati
- Elena Lombardi
- Francesca Southerden
- Nicolo Crisafi
I LOVE Whitney Bauman so much. This is a wonderful comment. Thank you!!!!
