Future Home of the Living God - Softcover

"A streamlined dystopian thriller...Erdrich's tense and lyrical new work of speculative fiction stands shoulder-to-braced-shoulder right alongside The Handmaid's Tale."--Maureen Corrigan, NPR's Fresh Air

"Erdrich stuns again in Future Home of The Living God...She grounds her story in a kind of sharply drawn reality that makes the standard tropes of dark futurism that much more unnerving...Erdrich is a writer whose words carry a spiritual weight far beyond science, or fiction."--Entertainment Weekly

"Erdrich is a seer, a visionary whose politics are inextricable from her fiction...[Future Home of the Living God] is an eerie masterpiece, a novel so prescient that though it conjures an alternate reality, it often provokes the feeling that, yes this is really happening."--O, The Oprah Magazine

"In this fast-paced novel, rapid and catastrophic changes to human reproduction make the survival of the race uncertain...Erdrich imagines an America in which winter is a casualty of climate change, borders are sealed, men are 'militantly insecure, ' and women's freedom is evaporating...Vivid...Compelling."--New Yorker

"Smart and thrilling...the book reads like an alternate history of our anxious current moment...Erdrich's storytelling is seductive."--Vanity Fair

"A fascinating new novel, which describes a world where evolution is running backward and the future of civilization is in doubt."--New York Times Book Review

"Philosophical yet propulsive...Future Home of the Living God is as much a thriller as it is a religious-themed literary novel -- it thrives on narrow escapes, surprise character appearances, and a perpetual sense of peril...effective and cannily imagined."--USA Today

"We recognize...the same miasma of anxiety and unease that Americans now breathe. This is fiction, of course; the details are not from our world. But the sensation is...Vivid and suspenseful...Once Cedar is imprisoned, the story turns thrilling."--Boston Globe

"Masterful...a breakout work of speculative fiction...Erdrich enters the realm of Margaret Atwood's The Handmaid's Tale...A tornadic, suspenseful, profoundly provoking novel of life's vulnerability and insistence...with a bold apocalyptic theme, searing social critique, and high-adrenaline action."--Booklist, Starred Review

"[A] startling new work of speculative fiction...strikingly relevant. Erdrich has written a cautionary tale for this very moment in time."--Publishers Weekly, boxed review
