An Analysis of Jennifer Mills’ Dyschronia through the lens of the New Weird Genre

Abstract

The human influence on global climate change has become serious and critical, demanding extra study in all fields, including literature. The global weirding novels try to stress the human effects on climate change to great horrible space. Climate weirding represents how the human actions and greedy of capitalism change the whole planet to another one that is unfamiliar. In Dyschronia (2018), Jennifer Mills portrays surprising and disturbing events like the localized retreat, rather than rise, of the sea and the implications for the doomed town of Clapstone, which turned into an industrial sacrificed zone. The aim of The current paper first aims to study the problem of climate change, which has become very serious and critical in recent years and needs further exploration in all disciplines, including fiction; secondly, it tries to show how human actions  create serious problems like climate change or climate weirding which is one of the scarcest things  that threaten human and nonhuman existence. The study will depend on explaining new weird genre to analyse the novel.
