A powerful climate crisis story about love and loss that offers a
glimpse of a tangible future in which water is commodified and
vulnerable to sabotage that is close to perfect, imaginative and far
reaching, and very human and deadly serious (The Guardian).
Water is commodified. The Water Train that serves the city increasingly
at risk of sabotage.
As news breaks that construction of a gigantic Ice Dock will displace
more people than first thought, protestors take to the streets and the
lives of several individuals begin to interlock. A nurse on the brink of
an affair. A boy who follows a stray dog out of the city. A woman who
lies dying. And her husband, a marksman: a man forged by his past and
fearful of the future, who weighs in his hands the possibility of death
against the possibility of life.
From one of the most celebrated writers of his generation, Stillicide
is a moving story of love and loss and the will to survive, and a
powerful glimpse of the tangible future.
