Description
An offbeat and unforgettable apocalyptic satire by a young novelist whose star is on the rise It's the early 2010s and a mysterious Shen Fever seems to have killed off almost the entire US population but for a small group of survivors, who have banded together to make their way to a sanctuary near Chicago. Millennial and first-generation American Candace Chen is the last one to join the group. But things are not as they seem and soon she must plot her escape An original, sharp and funny literary debut that explores themes of belonging, alienation, late-capitalism, overconsumption and the immigrant experience Severance has been on multiple 'Most Anticipated' and 'Best Of' lists in 2018 and Ling Ma received the Graywolf SLS prize in 2015 for an early portion of the novel A very cool, youthful book that will receive media coverage and marketing support in millennial publications and websites in particular
