On the eve of the Occupy Wall Street protests, C is flat broke.
Once a renowned textile artist, she's now the sole proprietor of an
arts supply store in Lower Manhattan. Divorced, alone, at loose
ends, C is stuck with a struggling business, a stack of bills, a
new erotic interest in her oldest girlfriend, and a persistent
hallucination in the form of a rogue garden gnome with a pointed
interest in systems collapse . . . C needs to put her medical debt
and her sex life in order, but how to make concrete plans with this
little visitor haunting her apartment, sporting a three-piece suit
and delivering impromptu lectures on the vulnerability of the
national grid? Moreover, what's all this computer code doing in the
story of her life? And do the answers to all of C's questions lie
with an eco-hacktivist cabal threatening to end modern life as we
know it? The Visitors is mordantly funny as it follows a woman
dealing with debt, lust and an unwelcome visitor in the last days
of a broken status quo. It peers into How We Got Here and asks What
We Do Next, whatever our personal hallucinations may be.
