Publishers Weekly interviewed Matt Bell about his upcoming novel, APPLESEED. When asked about how fiction fits into the larger conversation about climate change, Bell said: “Fiction is good at imagining other ways of being—other futures, other possibilities, choices we might make. I was interested in the way that the choices we have to confront climate change narrow as we go forward without doing anything—or not doing enough.” Custom House published the book on July 13, 2021.
