You're about to listen to a BBC podcast, but this is about something else you might enjoy.

My name's Katie Lecky and I'm an assistant commissioner for on demand music on BBC Sounds.

With music on sounds, we offer collections and mixes for everything, from workouts to

helping you nod off, boogie in your kitchen, or even just a moment of calm. And they're all put

together by people who know their stuff. So if you want some expertly curated music in your life,

check out BBC Sounds.

Hello. When I imagine a catastrophe, it's often conveniently dramatic. A fireball hurtling to earth at the weekend when I have time to worry about it. So many apocalyptic visions are

depicted this way, a focus on

the singular event rather than the slow, banal, yet devastating, multifarious reality we're facing,

truths that are harder to dramatise. Perhaps this is why the nature writer Robert McFarlane was left

wondering back in 2005, where is the literature of climate change?

Well, today on the programme, we'll be looking at the ways in which literary fiction is beginning

to grapple with environmental issues. I'm delighted to say that I'm joined by two award-winning

novelists who are doing just that. Caris Bray, whose third novel, when the lights go out,

is the story of a cooling marriage fueled by a warming planet,

as Emma and Chris navigate the literal and metaphorical floodwaters at the door.

Also here is Diana McCauley, a writer,

who is also the founder and chair of the Jamaican Environment Trust.

A latest novel, Daylight Come, is a near-future story set on a fictional island in the Caribbean,

which may or may not have once been Jamaica.
