Planet Now! / Planeta herido: una conversación with Gisela Heffes, Samanta Schweblin | July 18, 2021

Welcome to the newest endeavor from Rice University’s Center for Environmental Studies. Planet Now! / Planeta herido: una conversación continues our commitment to open and invigorating dialogue about planetary concerns. Environmental dilemmas do not happen only in English so why should our conversations?
The series begins with an interview between Professor Gisela Heffes, the inspiration behind this new series, and Argentine writer Samanta Schweblin, whose celebrated novel "Fever Dream" (Distancia de rescate) debuts soon on Netflix as a film directed by Claudia Llosa.
This Planet Now! conversation was produced in partnership with the Association for the Study of Literature and Environment (ASLE) and Houston-based Literal Publishing.
