Oil! [CBR Podcast Season 3, Episode 1]

In this episode of the Climate Book Reviews podcast, Ed and Roger discuss Upton Sinclair’s classic Oil! with Michael Tondre, editor of the timely reissue and critical edition by Penguin. The novel was the loose inspiration for the movie There Will Be Blood, and Tondre discusses the history around the book, the events that gave birth to it, and both the hope and horrors of oil exploration and extraction. Tondre also discusses his recent book Oil from the Object Lesson series by Bloomsbury.
