The World Is a Prism, Not a Window
An Interview with Zoë Schlanger
Plants miraculously eat light. Yet here we are, seemingly convinced not only of their dullness, but that humans are the best and brightest beings on Earth? In this conversation, climate journalist Zoë Schlanger dispels such delusion with a cornucopia of mind-blowing plant capabilities. Speaking about her latest book, The Light Eaters, brimming with studies that push the limits of the Western scientific imagination, she explores how embracing plant consciousness can upend the structures and hierarchies we’ve placed around living beings. Agog with curiosity about plant roots sensing the sound of running water and flowers memorizing the timing of pollinators’ visits, Zoë shares her own journey from plant blindness to recognizing how her very body is woven with the lives of plants. From this space of wonder, she welcomes the depth of their mystery: “Nature, never a flat plane, has always more folds and faces still hidden from human view. The world is a prism, not a window. Wherever we look, we find new refractions.”
