Trashlands Book Review

” Trashlands” is a good book that you can read online or download to read it later. Before starting the reading or downloading, here is the summary of the book that you can read. A few generations from now, the coastlines of the continent have been redrawn by floods and tides. Global powers have agreed to not produce any new plastics, and what is left has become valuable: Garbage is currency. In the region-wide junkyard that Appalachia has become, Coral is a “plucker”, pulling plastic from the rivers and woods. She’s stuck in Trashlands, a dump named for the strip club at its edge, where the local women dance for an endless loop of strangers and the club’s violent owner rules as unofficial mayor. Amid the polluted landscape, Coral works desperately to save up enough to rescue her child from the recycling factories, where he is forced to work. In her stolen free hours, she does something that seems impossible in this place: Coral makes art.

Brief Summary Trashlands by Alison Stine

When the events of the novel begin, decades have passed since floods tore through the world, reshaping coastlines and lives in the process. So much time has passed in fact, that our central character, Coral (the characters are named after plants, animals and cities), doesn’t have any connection to the “before time.”This comes both into stark focus as a character-building trait (that is, for her entire existence, she’s only known how to survive) and also, at times, to comic relief: Fire hydrant. What a funny word, she thought, since fire didn’t come out of the hydrant.In Trashlands, humanity’s demise was plastic, an overreliance on plastic, especially single-use plastic (the characters throughout the novel often marvel at how ridiculous it would be to use plastic once and discard it rather than remaking it anew or how absurd it was how much plastic was devoted to wasteful packaging) and in general, not heeding the concerns about climate change.
