What People are Saying About This

From the Publisher

Moira Crone's simple observation that New Orleanians, like people everywhere, really want to live forever, clearly leads into a world of ethical marvels, perversities hitherto undreamed of. Her narrator, an ambitious outsider, a pure Dickensian foundling, is perfectly situated to guide the reader on a revelatory journey to where we are headed right now. —Valerie Martin, winner of Great Britain's Orange Prize; author of Property

A vivid, suspenseful, and (literally) layered imagining of what's to become of New Orleans and humanity (a new kind of love?) in the Twenty-Second Century. —Roy Blount, Jr.

Moira Crone has written a deeply strange novel of a dystopian New Orleans of the future — troubling, vividly imagined, audacious, and utterly unlike anything else you will read this year, or next. —Tom Piazza, author of Why New Orleans Matters
