Speculative Climate Futures in Arab LiteratureThere is a fixity to the boundaries of genre fiction in English, enforced within publishing as within scholarship, that is largely absent in Arabic.
It might be called adab taghayyur al-manakh (“literature of climate change”), al-adab al-biʾi (“environmental literature”) or even a transliterated klaymat fikshun.
[2] Generally, there seems to be more climate fiction in the form of graphic novels and animated short films.
