In Vestiges of a World to Come, it is not the author who speaks of nature, but nature that speaks to her. Rivers, mountains, insects, birds, trees, and fires summon her, challenge her, and permeate her being.

This book is a conversation with what still breathes, a meditation on ecological grief, and a series of urgent questions: What trace do we leave for future species? Will we manage to become worthy ancestors? Mónica Nepote allows other lives to answer these questions through their bodies and their languages. What is named here is not a farewell, but a call: an attempt to imagine, with our neighboring species, a possible future.
