Description

Mary Anne Butler‘s One More Hour is quirky, dark and hilarious. It hurls Australia’s lack of climate change policies under the spotlight; drawing the conclusion that Dogs in power would probably do a better job.

Set in a post-apocalyptic future, after climate change has wrought its full fury onto Planet Earth, One More Hour tells the story of three Dogs – Fate, Chance and Hope – who each try to lead their humans to safety in a fast-disintegrating world.
