War, Nature and Resilience: Eco-Critical Poetics of Selected Texts by Anthony Doerr
No full textAll the Light We Cannot See (2014) and The Shell Collector Short Stories (2011) by Anthony Doerr depicts each gender\u27s eco-consciousness in relation to their interaction with the environment. This paper puts forward the contention that Anthony Doerr expresses his spiritual ecofeminist philosophy through his writings and portrays his women more interconnected with nature than men. His female characters are involved in deeds of nurture and subsiding of war and show a better tendency to conserve nature. Their interconnectedness with nature results in nature favoring their well-being and survival. The male characters are portrayed as perpetrators of environmental injustice and eco-crisis and hence, nature does not favor the well-being of male characters. This paper discusses selected texts by Anthony Doerr in the light of spiritual ecofeminist theory by Starhawk. It employs Blue Criticism, Critical Animal Studies, Green Criticism, environmental injustice and eco-crisis as sub-theories to deconstruct the impact of each gender on its surroundings. The text is deconstructed to demonstrate that the text has irreconcilably contradictory meanings rather than a unified, logical whole. In Anthony Doerr\u27s ecological realm, women are much closer to nature than men. Therefore, Anthony Doerr, through his literary texts, reveals that the resilience and survival of women in the selected texts is a metaphor for the resilience of Mother Earth.

Memory Wall: Stories
No full textSet on four continents, Anthony Doerr\u27s new stories are about memory, the source of meaning and coherence in our lives, the fragile thread that connects us to ourselves and to others. Every hour, says Doerr, all over the globe, an infinite number of memories disappear. Yet at the same time children, surveying territory that is entirely new to them, push back the darkness, form fresh memories, and remake the world.In the luminous and beautiful title story, a young boy in South Africa comes to possess an old woman\u27s secret, a piece of the past with the power to redeem a life. In The River Nemunas, a teenage orphan moves from Kansas to Lithuania to live with her grandfather, and discovers a world in which myth becomes real. Village 113, winner of an O\u27Henry Prize, is about the building of the Three Gorges Dam and the seed keeper who guards the history of a village soon to be submerged. And in Afterworld, the radiant, cathartic final story, a woman who escaped the Holocaust is haunted by visions of her childhood friends in Germany, yet finds solace in the tender ministrations of her grandson.https://corescholar.libraries.wright.edu/dlpp_all/1412/thumbnail.jp
