The World After Us

What is left of the world in the aftermath of destruction, greed, and neglect? Yume Kitasei, Emma Sloley, and Ethan Rutherford search for an answer in their blistering novels. In Saltcrop, Kitasei follows two sisters on an epic voyage across oceans to find their lost sister, offering a meaningful exploration of family bonds, environmental disasters, and corporate greed. In The Island of Last Things, Sloley takes readers on a whirlwind adventure to a world of political unrest and environmental ruin, centered on two zookeepers and their bond with each other and the animals they nurture. In North Sun, Rutherford probes into the nineteenth-century American whaling industry in an experimental narrative as beautiful as it is harrowing.
