"For anyone who's felt alienated from a mall, a suburb, a
landscape, a culture, or our shared biosphere, this book offers
homesickness as a powerful human desire, a mode of interpretation,
a corrective to increased mobility, consumer capitalism, and
utopian cosmopolitanism, and a hopeful sensibility that connects us
with others-exactly what we need in our troubled times."-Jennifer
Ladino, author of Reclaiming Nostalgia: Longing for Nature in
American Literature"Ryan Hediger richly brings to life the feelings
of homesickness that infuse cultural production amid the
dislocations of capitalism, warfare, and the Anthropocene. His
deeply researched and beautifully written book illuminates the
experiences of weakness, mortality, and desire for home that have
often been overlooked in the environmental humanities."-Teresa
Shewry, author of Hope at Sea: Possible Ecologies in Oceanic
Literature
"Ryan Hediger's Homesickness is an intriguing book that proposes
its titular concept as a master category for reading twentieth- and
twenty-first-century US art, particularly fiction and films."-ALH
