'Magnificent and stunning' Jeff VanderMeer, author of Hummingbird
Salamander 'An immense achievement. Masterful and merciless' Olivia
Sudjic, author of Asylum Road 'Expertly conjures California noir
filtered through the ambient and not-so-ambient apocalypse' Emma
Cline, author of The Girls Patrick Hamlin has come from New York to
Hollywood to see his novel be adapted for the screen, but why does
he get the strange feeling that the film isn't even being made,
that it's just a smokescreen for something else? Troubled starlet
Cassidy Carter is due to play the female lead in the film, but why
doesn't she seem to care what happens on set? Does she know
something he doesn't? Or can she help him get to the truth? His
wife Alison has taken their daughter Nora to a commune in upstate
New York to mourn the destruction of nature, but is she safe there
or is the Earthbridge community a cult exploiting her anxieties?
When fires rage through the Californian landscape, how is it that a
certain type of tiny pale blue flower remains sweetly blue, not
singed by the flames? And what is the truth about WAT-R, the
synthetic water everyone drinks out in LA? Is it really as harmless
as everyone says? Ablaze with vivid, unforgettable images and
smouldering with elegiac menace, Something New Under the Sun is an
unmissable novel for our present moment - a bold exploration of
capitalism, corruption and environmental catastrophe, and as
entertaining, alluring and beautiful as it is devastating. 'An
urgent novel about our very near future and a deeply addictive
pleasure . . . Kleeman is a phenomenon, one of the most brilliant
and gifted writers at work today' Katie Kitamura, author of
Intimacies A WHITE REVIEW BOOK OF THE YEAR * A LIT HUB BEST BOOK OF
2021
