Moving into his Brooklyn brownstone to live along with his Hurricane Sandy-traumatized, illegal-gun-stockpiling, optimized-soy-protein-eating, bunker-building roommates, Aretha finds that her dreams of making partner are slipping away, replaced by an underground world, one of selling guns and training for a doomsday that's maybe just around the corner. For readers of Victor LaValle's The Changeling, Paul Beatty's The Sellout, and Zakiya Harris's The Other Black Girl, The Survivalists is a darkly humorous novel from a smart and relevant new literary voice that's packed with tension, curiosity and wit, and unafraid to ask the questions most relevant to a new generation of Americans: Does it make sense to climb the corporate ladder? What exactly are the politics of gun ownership? And in a world where it's nearly impossible for young people to earn enough money to afford stable housing, what does it take in order to survive?"-- $c Provided by publisher. 650 0 $a African Americans $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Women lawyers $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Man-woman relationships $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Survivalism $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Large type books. 651 0 $a Brooklyn (New York, N.Y.) $v Fiction. 941 $a 1 945 $a lpt 952 $l TYPH572 $d 20230512010410.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=518ACA12F08A11EDB88C213231ECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
