Maggiori informazioni sul libro

Candace Chen works for a publishing service provider in Times Square, responsible for producing thematic bibles in Asia. So devotedly does she adhere to her daily routines that she fails to notice the deadly fungal spores descending upon New York, brought in through cheap consumer goods manufactured in China. The Shen Fever spreads rapidly. Stores close. Subways come to a standstill. People flee. Soon, she finds herself almost entirely alone in New York. However, Candace must also leave the city and joins a group of survivors—yet safety remains elusive, as she will soon discover. This award-winning debut is a poignant family story, an original apocalyptic narrative, and an insightful pandemic novel. The biting satire on modern capitalism paints a chilling vision of what may come next.
