Description
Severance A Novel by Ling Ma is a satirical take on the end of the world, blending office politics with apocalyptic themes. Candace Chen, a millennial office drone, finds herself at the centre of a dwindling skeleton crew as a plague sweeps the city. With her routine disrupted, she begins to document the eerie, abandoned landscape through her blog, NY Ghost. As the world around her falls apart, Candace's mundane life is turned upside down. Her devotion to routine is tested, and she must confront the uncertainty she's been trying to avoid. This offbeat, wryly funny novel explores the human condition in the face of catastrophic change. A finalist for the PEN/Hemingway Award for Debut Novel, Severance has been named a Notable Book of 2018 by The New York Times and is an Indie Next Selection.
