‘An urgent novel about our very near future, and a deeply addictive pleasure’ Katie Kitamura, author of Intimacies‘Magnificent and stunning’ Jeff VanderMeer, author of Hummingbird Salamander‘An immense achievement. Masterful and merciless’ Olivia Sudjic, author of Asylum Road
A bold, addictive and urgent new novel about capitalism, environmental collapse and our near future.
What is really going on?
Patrick Hamlin has come to Hollywood to see his novel be adapted for the screen, but why does he get the feeling that the film project is a smokescreen for something else? Does Cassidy Carter, the troubled starlet due to play the lead, know something he doesn’t? And what is the truth about WAT-R, the synthetic water everyone drinks in LA?
Sharply funny, alluring and devastating, Something New Under the Sun is an unmissable novel for our present moment.
‘Sun-drenched, sharply observed and swift-moving… strange and new’ Guardian

‘Expertly conjures California noir filtered through the ambient and not-so-ambient apocalypse’ Emma Cline, author of The Girls
