This week, we share a short story by Mexican author Laia Jufresa,
translated by Sophie Hughes, that imagines the chaos of a world
ravaged and divided by climate change. In “Be Dammed,” thousands of
climate refugees find themselves forming settlements on boats as
they wait endlessly to cross a heavily guarded border in pursuit of
safety. One woman, tasked with holding prayers for their salvation,
negotiates the entanglement of faith and politics as she considers
who, or what, truly has the power to change their circumstances.
