Adrián Villar Rojas’s The Theater of Disappearance offers an opportunity to reflect on the unstable era we inhabit and our role as a planetary geological force. Environmental historian and science writer Jon Christensen is a cofounder of the Laboratory for Environmental Narrative Strategies in the Institute for the Environment and Sustainability at UCLA, where he investigates how to tell stories, create art, and make sense of a world in which human agency is at once vast and ineffectual.
