The New World
The New World: A Novel | Chris Adrian, Eli Horowitz
5 posts | 6 read | 2 to read
An innovative story of love, decapitation, cryogenics, and memory by two of our most creative literary mindsJorie has just received some terrible news. A phone full of missed calls and sympathetic text messages seem to indicate that her husband, Jim, a chaplain at the hospital where she works as a surgeon, is dead. Only, not quite—rather, his head has been removed from his body and cryogenically frozen. Jim awakes to find himself in an altogether unique situation, to say the least: his body gone but his consciousness alive, his only companion a mysterious, disembodied voice. In this surreal and unexpectedly moving work, Chris Adrian and Eli Horowitz spin a tale of loss and adjustment, death and reawakening. Simultaneously fabulist and achingly human, The New World finds Jorie grieving the husband she knew while Jim wrestles with the meaning of life after death. Conceived in collaboration with Atavist Books, The New World interrogates love and loss in the digital era.

Mehso-so

This is the strangest #weirdbook I have read recently; for TOB2016. It was just... Odd. And it was constructed as an online book in an odd way that I can't figure out how to describe. Trust, it was weird. #septphotochallenge

shainareads I saw that one in the library and was intrigued but it really didn't pull me in. 8y
BkClubCare Oh @shainareads - read the TOB commentary - I think it must be read online (or on smartphone) for "true" experience? 8y
shainareads Ooh, good to know! 8y

"... an innovative digital novel about memory,grief and love." Am captivated so far (and the app gives no status so I have no idea how far into it I am! - unless... The zigzag might?)
