Publisher: Bloomsbury Publishing PLC
The joyfully freewheeling, funny, and profound new novel from "one of the most inventive, adventurous, and accomplished fiction writers in the US today" (Lionel Shriver) is here! Welcome to America, where the east coast is being swallowed by the ocean, the west coast is engulfed with wildfire, and one family is facing an impending environmental disaster. Party girl Cat impulse-purchased a snake, her pious brother Cooper is wrestling with a tic bite, and their mom Ottilie has resorted to cooking with crickets. Everyone is drinking too much, and the bugs seem to be disappearing. It seems as if it's anything but blue skies ahead...
Blue Skies is a masterful new adventure from one of America's great comic writers. It's a delightfully dark comedy of manners about family life at the end of the world. Boyle is a writer who chooses a large canvas and fills it to the edges, revealing truths about modern life while still feeling beautifully invented. His stories are virtuoso craftsman, and Annie Proulx calls him a virtuoso craftsman. Barbara Kingsolver says he's a writer who chooses a large canvas and fills it to the edges, and Annie Proulx calls him a virtuoso craftsman.
Boyle's stories are filled with humor, wit, and insight, and they explore the complexities of human relationships and the challenges of living in a world that is rapidly changing. Blue Skies is a must-read for anyone who loves great literature and wants to be transported to a world that is both familiar and strange.
