- Climate scientists caught in wild Southern storms
- Queer stories set against extreme weather and new beginnings
- One-night narratives with strangers thrown together by disaster
Sleet in Mississippi? In March? A crazy ice storm lays waste to the South in an invigorating, touching story of one slippery night, an open bar, and total abandon.
For three strangers whose paths will cross, the storm hasn't even reached its peak. Two of them are the kind of climate scientists no one ever listens to in disaster movies. The third, against even icier opposition, has just moved to the Magnolia State to come out. Soon they'll all be pushed closer to the edge, where the bracing winds of cataclysmic change can be so wildly liberating.
Jess Walter's The Way the World Ends is part of Warmer, a collection of seven visions of a conceivable tomorrow by today's most thought-provoking authors. Alarming, inventive, intimate, and frightening, each story can be read, or listened to, in a single breathtaking sitting.
