Summary:
Love, lies, and eco-anxietyan irresistible satire about finding balance in a chaotic world
Thirtysomething Cara Foster is, one might say, eco-anxiousperhaps even eco-neurotic. She eats out of dumpstersnot because she wants to but because its the right thing to do, does laundry as seldom as possible, takes navy showers every couple of days, and is reevaluating her boyfriend for killing a spider instead of saving a life.
Cara has never met her six nephews and niecessoon to be sevenbecause she doesnt fly domestic, unless its an emergency, or international ever. She longs for a carbon footprint so light youd hardly know she exists.
Then, during a mimosa-soaked Sunday brunch, she meets her boyfriends alluring mother, Millie, and Cara finds herself mesmerized. Millie represents everything Cara is against: She eats meat, has cowhide rugs, drives a car the size of a small yacht, and blithely travels the world by boat, plane, and trainwithout any guilt whatsoever. In fact, Cara soon admits this may be why she finds herself so drawn to Millie.
As they begin spending time together, getting pedicures and drinking sixteen-olive martinis, Cara becomes hooked on Millie and this new freedom from the harsh realities of life in the twenty-first century.
Yet before long, Cara risks losing everything to be close to the mundane extravagance of Millies world. Her career, her best friend, and her identity all hang in the balance as she struggles to disentangle from this intoxicating muse.
Irreverent, witty, and provocative, My Days of Dark Green Euphoria, winner of the Siskiyou Prize for New Environmental Literature, is a satirical novel of how a life on the edge of eco-anxiety can spiral wildly out of control, as well as how promising and inspiring a commitment to saving our planet can be.
