Description
The Doloriad A Novel by Missouri Williams In the aftermath of a mysterious environmental cataclysm, a family clings to existence on the edges of a deserted city. The Matriarch, her brother, and their children eke out a fragile existence, scavenging supplies and attempting to cultivate the poisoned earth. As they struggle to survive, they find solace in old VHS tapes of a TV show featuring a medieval saint who faces down logical and ethical dilemmas. The Matriarch's grip on power begins to slip when one of her daughters, Dolores, returns from a mysterious absence, triggering a breakdown in the family's fragile order. As the control she wields over her family weakens, the boundaries between survival and depravity blur. Missouri Williams's debut novel is a haunting and original exploration of humanity's unbreakable commitment to life. With intricate prose that moves with a life of its own, The Doloriad is a dark, strange, and often hilarious tale that will leave you unsettled.
