Este artículo analiza la relación entre degradación ambiental y crisis social en dos eco-ficciones americanas recientes: La novia oscura (1999) de Laura Restrepo y Le Club des miracles relatifs (2016) de Nancy Huston. Adoptando un acercamiento comparatista y ecocrítico, el análisis demuestra las intersecciones entre la consciencia ecológica y las estrategias narrativas que se observan en estas dos narrativas que presentan crisis ambientales y sociales fundadas en las relaciones entre degradación ambiental, masculinidades hegemónicas y violencia de género. El análisis concluye con una discusión de esta tríada en relación a las ecologías naturales, culturales y humanas de las dos novelas.
