More about the book
Strange apocalypses transform America in this novel-in-stories, where bizarre events like mud floods and talking birds reflect a surreal landscape. Amidst the chaos, characters grapple with loss and survival, such as a father arrested for free throws while his son searches for his missing mother, and a boy who embodies his family's abandoned attic. Through diverse narrative styles, Blake Butler crafts a grotesque yet beautiful portrayal of humanity's resilience and absurdity, echoing the works of Kelly Link and William H. Gass.
