Our Take
Rush travels the American coastline that is already disappearing under rising seas — marsh communities in Louisiana, Staten Island residents who lost everything in Sandy. The writing is lyrical and the grief is present tense: this is not a future catastrophe but a current one, slow enough to be ignored. A book about what we are choosing to let drown.
