From the author of The Heavens, a dazzling, mindbending novel in
which all people with a Y chromosome mysteriously disappear from
the face of the earthDeep in the California woods on an evening in
late August, Jane Pearson is camping with her husband Leo and their
five-year-old son Benjamin. As dusk sets in, she drifts softly to
sleep in a hammock strung outside the tent where Leo and Benjamin
are preparing for bed. At that moment, every single person with a Y
chromosome vanishes around the world, disappearing from operating
theaters mid-surgery, from behind the wheels of cars, from
arguments and acts of love. Children, adults, even fetuses are gone
in an instant. Leo and Benjamin are gone. No one knows why, how, or
where. After the Disappearance, Jane forces herself to enter a
world she barely recognizes, one where women must create new ways
of living while coping with devastating grief. As people come
together to rebuild depopulated industries and distribute scarce
resources, Jane focuses on reuniting with an old college
girlfriend, Evangelyne Moreau, leader of the Commensalist Party of
America, a rising political force in this new world. Meanwhile,
strange video footage called "The Men" is being broadcast online
showing images of the vanished men marching through barren,
otherworldly landscapes. Is this just a hoax, or could it hold the
key to the Disappearance?From the author of The Heavens, The Men is
a gripping, beautiful, and disquieting novel of feminist utopias
and impossible sacrifices that interrogates the dream of a perfect
society and the conflict between individual desire and the good of
the community.
