2022 Winner of the Oregon Book Award for Creative Nonfiction

Cover Image for 'Plastic: An Autobiography: by Allison Cobb

Plastic: An Autobiography

by Allison Cobb

In Plastic: An Autobiography, Cobb’s obsession with a large plastic car part leads her to explore the violence of our consume-and-dispose culture, including her own life as a child of Los Alamos, where the first atomic bombs were made. The journey exposes the interconnections among plastic waste, climate change, nuclear technologies, and racism. Using a series of interwoven narratives — from ancient Phoenicia to Alabama — the book bears witness to our deepest entanglements and asks how humans continue on this planet.
