The dazzling new novel from the acclaimed author of
The Heavens asks: what if the price of a better world
was losing the person you love?
Jane Pearson is camping with her husband Leo and their five-year-old son
Benjamin, deep in the California woods on an evening in late August. At the
moment that she drifts to sleep outside the tent where Leo and Benjamin are
preparing for bed, every single person with a Y chromosome vanishes from
the world, disappearing from operating theatres 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 enters a reality she barely recognises, 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 reunites 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.
