PostScript - by Cory McCarthy (Hardcover)

Book Synopsis

"I'm not sure the how-pocalypse changes anything. I don't think about it; this is hard enough."
This is a depopulated archipelago off the coast of Massachusetts, home to a tiny handful of sapiens sifting the remnants of civilization for scraps of comfort and joy.
There's no sense in trying to figure out exactly how humans got to this place of endless gray skies and so many mass graves--that's a very long letter no one has the heart to read again. What matters is this fleeting postscript, a strangely joyous house of bones built by an unlikely quintet of survivors.

Review Quotes

"An incandescent work of art and a glorious coda for humanity. This is the most cathartic book I've ever read. It's also a stunning masterpiece of humor, feeling, philosophy, and no-holds-barred romance. Above all, it's an ode to instinct. Postscript has the power to realign your life. You should let it."--A. R. Capetta, Lambda-Award winning author of The Heartbreak Bakery

★ " Simultaneously tragic, existentially terrifying, heartwarming, and sensual, the narrative blends these contradictions into a compact, beautiful, and well-wrought whole.... McCarthy's striking black-and-white illustrations adorn the text and offer more content for readers to ponder. A deep story to read on an overcast afternoon while contemplating existence."--Kirkus, starred review

"Luminous . . . a poetic apocalypse narrative that explores grief, found family, and healing through community."--Publishers Weekly
