β¦ Synopsis
A memorable, edgy debut exploring the climate crisis and young women on the verge of transformation
Edgy and darkly humorous, these stories introduce us to women grappling with climate, fertility, and their relationships with each other, all as they teeter on the verge of transformation. A figure skater in a warming world quits, only to find herself embroiled in the politics of ice, a graduate student becomes progressively unhinged as she reports on the unravelling of her Patagonia research project, an artist finds an unconventional use for her own frozen eggs, a park ranger at Joshua Tree National Park goes to extreme lengths to save his beloved tortoises.
In this daring debut, Georgina Beaty offers a bold, nuanced look at our turbulent times, fearlessly probing the ambitions and confusions of her generation. Wholly unexpected yet wildly entertaining, The Party Is Here slants the world to speak to the uncanny truth of modern life.
