In 2015, in a tragic natural disaster, a massive avalanche descended on the small Arctic Norwegian city of Longyearbyen, Svalbard, leveling eleven houses and killing a child and a young father. In this arresting book, journalist Line Nagell Ylvisåker explores the effects of a warming planet up close and personal, from inside a remote community intimately attuned to its environment. Ylvisåker introduces readers to her friends and neighbors, including dedicated meteorologists racing to anticipate future disasters and a veteran trapper who harbors doubts about climate change even as he bears witness to a constantly shifting landscape. Blending memoir, long-form journalism, and scientific reportage, she provides an intimate picture of life in a place where the effects of climate change can be seen in all their startling reality―and a compelling and hopeful argument for collective and cooperative action across the globe. Praise for the Norwegian edition:   “Vivid literary nonfiction―filled with poetic, striking and surprising images.” ― Dagbladet “In Ylvisåker’s book, the personal experience of the environmental changes is an excellent framework for communicating. . . . This easy-to-read and engaging book should have great potential to create understanding for the seriousness of the situation.” ― Klassekampen “A documentary page turner.” ― Altså magazine Praise for the German edition:   “A story of the climate crisis that is as instructive as it is captivating.” ― Süddeutsche Zeitung “A gripping, forceful plea against the climate catastrophe.” ― 3SAT “Kulturzeit” “A report from the front on the fight against climate change, enlightening and touching.” ―Focus “Enlightening. . . . Compelling depictions of the disruptions impacting human settlements, terrain, and wildlife underscore the urgency of addressing climate change while also acknowledging the complexity of finding solutions. My World Is Melting is a fascinating essay collection about life on a remote Norwegian island and the startling impacts of climate change on Arctic communities and ecosystems.” ― Foreword Reviews “Astute and stirring. . . . This blend of reportage and rumination makes for an absorbing and crucial read on a topic of increasing significance.” ― Booklist “In prose as clear and evocative as the ice that’s disappearing from her home, Ylvisåker (in Kelsey Camacho’s superb translation) offers an alarming yet hopeful account of how the effects of climate change―from deadly avalanches to tragic polar bear attacks―are reshaping some of Norway’s most imperiled places.” -- Amy Brady, author of Ice: From Mixed Drinks to Skating Rinks―A Cool History of a Hot Commodity “Touching and powerful, about changes that affect us all.” -- Maja Lunde, author of The History of Bees Line Nagell Ylvisåker is an editor, journalist, and writer living in the high Arctic.
