Description
Desolation Road, Ian McDonald's 2020 novel, is set thirty years after its initial construction on Mars. The town has become renowned for its eccentric inhabitants and bizarre attractions, including the Astounding Tatterdemalion Air Bazaar and Adam Black's Wonderful Travelling Chautauqua. The residents of Desolation Road are as fascinating as their surroundings. Dr. Alimantando, a brilliant scientist, co-founded the town with his vision, while the Babooshka, a unique figure, has raised a child in a fruit jar. Other notable figures include Rajendra Das, a skilled mechanical hobo, and the Gallacelli brothers, who share a remarkable bond. Desolation Road is a place like no other, where the ordinary and extraordinary coexist. Its inhabitants have created a community that is both captivating and unsettling, making it impossible to leave unchanged.
