Sarah Wilson Instagram – The @thetimesmagazine feature from the weekend, in case you missed it. Which I did. You can tell a lot about the state of a nation’s mindset by the publicity you get for a book you published in multiple territories. My book #ThisOneWildAndPreciousLife is about the climate crisis. Which Spanish and US media totally got. My interviews in each of these countries were firmly about my knowledge and opinions on climate politics. But the UK have struggled to discuss the climate stuff in my book, not in a disrespectful manner, but I think out of …fear… overwhelm, perhaps? In interviews across the board I am asked about sugar, my knickers, my weirdness, my mental health tips…but the C word is kinda side-stepped. What is with that? I have my theories, but keen on others. It’s like that social experiment where you’re told to count how many times the blue team pass the basketball …and you totally don’t see the gorilla that walks across the court. That said, this interview is kind, fair, acknowledges my intent and the journalist had read my book. #climatechange (And the situation in Australia?… well… I await a review for EVEN JUST ONE of my books by a media outlet, kind or otherwise.)
