Inside Climate Talks: Special Interview With Author Lydia Millet

What is it like to experience the pain and joy of being human at a moment when the richness of the planet’s life is deeply threatened?Author Lydia Millet explores this theme, and more, in her memoir We Loved It All, the jumping off point for today’s conversation with reporter Kiley Bense. Lydia’s memoir, her first nonfiction book, follows a prolific and acclaimed body of fiction that grapples with themes of nature, animals and the consequences of climate change. Watch as she discusses what happens to human identity when we’re increasingly separated from the animal world, the challenges of writing about climate change in fiction, and what children’s toys will look like when animals we know today become extinct.
