Published by Simon and SchusterPublished since 2019-04-09
This propulsive post-apocalyptic thriller “in which Agatha Christie’s And Then There Were None collides with Stephen King’s The Shining” (NPR) follows a group of survivors stranded at a hotel as the world descends into nuclear war and the body of a young girl is discovered in one of the hotel’s water tanks.
Jon thought he had all the time in the world to respond to his wife’s text message: I miss you so much.
I feel bad about how we left it.
Love you.
But as he’s waiting in the lobby of the L’Hotel Sixieme in Switzerland after an academic conference, still mulling over how to respond to his wife, he receives a string of horrifying push notifications.
Washington, DC, has been hit with a nuclear bomb, then New York, then London, and finally Berlin.
That’s all he knows before news outlets and social media goes black—and before the clouds on the horizon turn orange.
Two months later, there are twenty survivors holed up at the hotel, a place already tainted by its strange history of suicides and murders.
Jon and the rest try to maintain some semblance of civilization.
But when he goes up to the roof to investigate the hotel’s worsening water quality, he is shocked to discover the body of a young girl floating in one of the tanks, and is faced with the terrifying possibility that there might be a killer among the group.
As supplies dwindle and tensions rise, Jon becomes obsessed with discovering the truth behind the girl’s death.
In this “brilliantly executed...chilling and extraordinary” post-apocalyptic mystery, “the questions Jameson poses—who will be with you at the end of the world, and what kind of person will you be?—are as haunting as the plot itself.” (Emily St.
John Mandel, nationally bestselling author of Station Eleven).
Ethics and Nostalgia in the Contemporary Novel-Perpustakaan.org
Author : John J. Su
Published by Cambridge University PressPublished since 2005-11-24
Images of loss and yearning played a crucial role in literary texts written in the later part of the twentieth century.
Despite deep cultural differences, novelists from Africa, the Caribbean, Great Britain, and the United States share a sense that the economic, social, and political forces associated with late modernity have evoked widespread nostalgia within the communities in which they write.
In this original and wide-ranging study, John J.
Su explores the relationship between nostalgia and ethics in novels across the English-speaking world.
He challenges the tendency in literary studies to characterise memory as positive and nostalgia as necessarily negative.
Instead, this book argues that nostalgic fantasies are crucial to the ethical visions presented by topical novels.
From Jean Rhys to Wole Soyinka and from V.
S.
Naipaul to Toni Morrison, Su identifies nostalgia as a central concern in the twentieth-century novel.
