Description
A novel about madness, generational trauma and cultural breakdown unfolds at the start of the 2008 financial crisis. Em's life is marked by anxiety as she waits to hear news of her missing sister Ad, while navigating her mundane office job. As events unfold, Em begins to see how madness permeates everything around her, transforming familiar spaces into surreal sites. The story is told through multiple perspectives and voices, including those of Em's colleagues, family members, and a young man from Chiapas who falls in love with Ad. Through these characters, the author portrays the breakdowns that occur in individuals, families, economies, and systems. This novel interrogates the idea of stability in early twenty-first-century America, presenting an acrobatic and unforgettable portrayal of a world on the brink of chaos.
