Tumblrinas, share with me y'all's recs pls

I'm looking for eco-fiction/solarpunk novels/poetry/short stories

Examples I can think of at the moment: A Psalm for the Wild Built (Becky Chambers), Parable of the Sower (Octavia Butler), The Road (Cormac McCarthy), and Nineveh (Henrietta Rose Innes).

Bonus points if they're not American/European/Global North

The Road is not generally a particularly funny novel, except maybe in a particular high level existential sense. But I do think that "The Bloodcults" is hands down the funniest feature of a setting for a protagonist to namedrop exactly once and then never bring up again. Yeah, yeah, the Bloodcults, these are known. The rattle on the cart wheel is new though

Been thinking about the mutant apocalypse boys in The Road by @rheadanai lately, so I had to draw them!

This fic is soooo beautifully written. It follows the brain and brawn duo in the early days after the M-Bomb, long before we see them in the show. My attention was grabbed instantly and was held through its entirety. The dialogue and interactions felt so real, and there's a true understanding of the characters. It's so good, please go give it a read!!
