Shortlisted for the 2022 Bollinger Everyman Wodehouse Prize for
Comic Fiction A Sunday Times Book of the Year In her first novel
since The Quick and the Dead (a finalist for the Pulitzer Prize),
the legendary writer takes us into an uncertain landscape after an
environmental apocalypse, a world in which only the man-made has
value, but some still wish to salvage the authentic. 'When the book
was over, I missed the awful, cleansing darkness of its eyes upon
me ' New Yorker Books of the Year 2021 'This is the apocalypse as
reimagined by a committee headed by Dali, Kafka and Yorgos
Lanthimos.' Observer Winner of the 2021 Kirkus Prize for Fiction
Shortlisted for the 2022 LA Times Prize Longlisted for the PEN/
Jean Stein Book Award Khristen is a teenager who, her mother
believes, was marked for greatness as a baby when she died for a
moment, then came back to life. After Khristen's boarding school
for gifted teens closes its doors, and her mother disappears, she
ranges across the dead landscape and finds a 'resort' on the shores
of a mysterious, putrid lake the elderly residents there call 'Big
Girl'. In a rotting honeycomb of rooms, these old ones plot actions
to punish corporations and people they consider culpable in the
destruction of the final scraps of nature's beauty. Rivetingly
strange and delivered with Williams' searing, deadpan wit, Harrow
is a tale of paradise lost and the reasons to try and recover
something of it.
