Entry updated 10 March 2025. Tagged: Author.
(? - ) US author whose first novel, The Final Orchard (2024), set in a not untypical Near-Future Dystopian world separated into hierarchical cohorts: the Genetically Engineered haves and the huge majority of the dispossessed. The protagonist lives in an Underground world with an imperfect knowledge of the "Surface" to which she hopes to climb (see Clichés; Conceptual Breakthrough; Pocket Universe; Zone): the revelations, when they come, radically adjust presumptions of any expected climax.
