Synopsis
From Stonewall Honoree Cory McCarthy, a heartbreaking, joyful, read-it-in-one-sitting YA novel about the last of us.
"I'm not sure the how-pocalypse changes anything. I don't think about it; this is hard enough."This is a depopulated archipelago off the coast of Massachusetts, home to a tiny handful of sapiens sifting the remnants of civilization for scraps of comfort and joy.
There's no sense in trying to figure out exactly how humans got to this place of endless gray skies and so many mass graves--that's a very long letter no one has the heart to read again. What matters is this fleeting postscript, a strangely joyous house of bones built by an unlikely quintet of survivors.

Hardcover. Condition: new. Hardcover. From Stonewall Honoree Cory McCarthy, a joyful, affectionate, read-in-one-sitting post-apocolyptic novel about letting go of the things we cant change and holding on to the passion of our instincts. Simultaneously tragic, existentially terrifying, heartwarming, and sensual."Kirkus, starred reviewOn the far side of a swift and unknowable apocalypse, a few sapiens are surviving off the last scraps of humanity. No longer recognizable as Cape Cod, the dunes of their archipelago are empty apart from regrets and ruinsuntil West blows in like a storm. West is a prophet of instinct, the last amateur anthropologist, ever aware of being present in life. He cant help but move through Anis rage, Karens anxiety, and Emils immense longing with curiosity and care. Wests unbridled love and grief challenge the survivors to defy extinction with the most beautifully human thing imaginable: a family. He may even impress Death. "Evokes Francesca Lia Block. Give this to fans of Marcus Sedgwick, Margaret Atwoods MaddAddam Trilogy, and The Last of Us."SLJ, starred review "On a depopulated archipelago off the coast of Massachusetts, a tiny handful of sapiens sift the remnants of civilization for scraps of comfort and joy in this fleeting postscript about the last of us"-- Provided by publisher.
