- Abstract
The article is a review of the book "Reading Aridity in Western American Literature" edited by Jada Ach and Gary Reger. The book aims to explore the cultural and social imagination of deserts in literature and argues for a transformation in how deserts are perceived. The book is organized into three sections, each examining different aspects of deserts in literature. The review praises the book for its innovative perspectives and theoretical support, but also suggests that further exploration is needed in certain areas. Overall, the review concludes that the book is thought-provoking and highlights the importance of deserts in literature and ecological thinking.
