Salvation City by Sigrid Nunez
From the National Book Award-winning author of The Friend, the moving and eerily relevant novel that imagines the aftermath of a flu pandemic as seen through the eyes of a thirteen-year-old boy uncertain of his destiny.
A tale of an American near-apocalypse that.. reads beautifully, at time joyously, and makes one reconsider the ordering of our world * Gary Shteyngart *
Not only timely and thought-provoking but also generous in its understanding of human nature. When the apocalypse comes, I want Nunez in my lifeboat * Vanity Fair *
Nunez's writing is gorgeously spare, and she gets the life and the lingo of a teenage boy just right.... A gorgeously strange novel * Boston Globe *
A satisfying, provocative and very plausible novel * Abraham Verghese, New York Times Book Review Editors’ Choice *
A wise and richly humane coming-of-age novel * O Magazine *
