The Great Derangement: Climate Change and the UnthinkableAre we deranged? The acclaimed Indian novelist Amitav Ghosh argues that future generations may well think so. How else to explain our imaginative failure in the face of global warming?

Are we deranged? The acclaimed Indian novelist Amitav Ghosh argues that future generations may well think so. How else to explain our imaginative failure in the face of global warming? In his first major book of nonfiction since In an Antique Land, Ghosh examines our inability--at the level of literature, history, and politics--to grasp the scale and violence of climate change.

The extreme nature of today's climate events, Ghosh asserts, make them peculiarly resistant to contemporary modes of thinking and imagining. This is particularly true of serious literary fiction: hundred-year storms and freakish tornadoes simply feel too improbable for the novel; they are automatically consigned to other genres. In the writing of history, too, the climate crisis has sometimes led to gross simplifications; Ghosh shows that the history of the carbon economy is a tangled global story with many contradictory and counterintuitive elements.

Ghosh ends by suggesting that politics, much like literature, has become a matter of personal moral reckoning rather than an arena of collective action. But to limit fiction and politics to individual moral adventure comes at a great cost. The climate crisis asks us to imagine other forms of human existence--a task to which fiction, Ghosh argues, is the best suited of all cultural forms. His book serves as a great writer's summons to confront the most urgent task of our time.

Reliable, Well-Designed Sewer Hose Kit That Just Works
Style: 15' Rhino Sewer Hose
This Camco RhinoFLEX 15-ft RV sewer hose kit is another example of why I continue to buy Camco products. Everything about it feels well thought out, solidly constructed, and designed specifically for real RV use. The hose is flexible yet durable, connects easily, and holds its shape without feeling flimsy or cheap. The clear elbow fitting with the removable 4-in-1 adapter is especially useful. Being able to visually confirm when the tank is fully drained adds peace of mind and takes the guesswork out of the dumping process. Connections are secure, leak-free, and quick to set up and break down at the campsite. After using it multiple times, I can say this kit simply works the way it should. It’s dependable, easy to handle, and offers excellent value for the quality you get. I would absolutely recommend this sewer hose kit to any RV owner looking for a reliable, no-nonsense solution that performs every time.

Clear elbow not detachable
Style: 15' Rhino Sewer Hose
Sewer hose is fine except the clear elbow is permanently attached and no removable. Also shipped via USPS vs. UPS. USPS couldn't/wouldn't deliver so had to go to the Post office to pick it up.

There have to be other places to save on your camping budget
Style: 15' Rhino Sewer Hose
After 5 years of regular use with my original Camco RhinoFLEX sewer hose, I decided to proactively get another one and retire the OG to the inside of the bumper to keep as an emergency use hose. Did I consider purchasing other brands and hoses to save a few $$$? Yes I did. Then I thought about never having to clean up a stinky black tank mess and promptly bought another one. If it ain't broke - or hasn't broke after five years of use - then don't fix it, and by that I mean don't overthink it. RhinoFLEX FTW.
