The Year Of The Flood

By The Author Of The Handmaid's Tale And Alias Grace The Sun Brightens In The East, Reddening The Blue-grey Haze That Marks The Distant Ocean. The Vultures Roosting On The Hydro Poles Fan Out Their Wings To Dry Them. The Air Smells Faintly Of Burning. The Waterless Flood - A Man-made Plague - Has Ended The World. But Two Young Women Have Survived: Ren, A Young Dancer Trapped Where She Worked, In An Upmarket Sex Club (the Cleanest Dirty Girls In Town); And Toby, Who Watches And Waits From Her Rooftop Garden. Is Anyone Else Out There?
