Our Heroic Journey: \A great storm is coming but the tide has turned,\ - J.R.R. Tolkien, The Lord of the Rings
From forest fires to droughts to sea inundations to once-a-century storms happening every other year - we can no longer deny the science that we've studied for the past 50 years. [...]like Frodo and friends, the A\\J editorial team persevered through their own versions of Mordor and the other trials and tribulations, hacking and slashing the wordier contributions (ahem...), and delivering a compelling coherent 'whole' crafted together from a series of science fiction stories that leaned heavily on the 'science' to help avoid the siren's call for cliches. Today, in 2021, 50 years after our founding, we are now certain that a storm of impacts, a great storm, is coming our way as a result of anthropogenic climate change. In 2071, it is our fervent hope that human society will have exited the worst period of the 'great climate storm' - and will have learned how to replant humanity in harmony with nature.

Atmospheric Exceptionalism in \Jane Eyre\: Charlotte Brontë's Weather Wisdom
As her family name suggests, Jane Eyre is exceptionally responsive to changes in the weather. In her eponymous \"autobiography,\" Jane's ability to predict future events and assume an embodied—yet occasionally omniscient—insight alerts us to the ways in which Charlotte Bronte's fiction leverages the rise of climate science as a basis for successful female authorship. In opposition to the prevailing belief of the Victorian medical establishment that storms prompted hysteria and exacerbated symptoms of women's biological \"periodicity,\" Brontë's first published novel draws the sensitive body and insightful mind of its female protagonist into close alliance. Far from reflecting a nervous pathology, Jane's empowered responses to the air demonstrate the ways in which meteorological concepts such as weather wisdom and lunarism prove vital to nineteenth-century fiction.

Diasporic South Vietnam
As Vietnam was caught in wartime narrative austerity from the 1950s to the 1970s, followed by the communist state’s intolerance of dissent, Vietnamese writers in the French and American diaspora have offered literary texts that challenge both Vietnamese discursive stricture and dominant perspectives in France and the United States. This essay studies two novel sequences from the diasporic Vietnamese literary archive: Vietnamese French author Ly Thu Ho’s trilogy and Vietnamese American writer Lan Cao’s pair of historical novels. Taking a historicist approach, the essay reveals complex nationalist expressions, aspirations, challenges, and desires in Ly Thu Ho’s and Lan Cao’s works of fiction.
