This November, the bestselling-author of the Southern Reach trilogy (Annihilation, Authority, and Acceptance) , Jeff VanderMeer, joins us as part of his first book tour in the UK in a decade.
About Absolution
For all the successes of the Southern Reach trilogy - an instant sensation, winning awards and inspiring a film adaptation - Area X had too many unanswered questions for Jeff VanderMeer. Absolution is his response.
Who had been complicit in creating the conditions for Area X to take hold? What was the full story of the first mission into the Forgotten Coast—before Area X was called Area X? What if someone had foreseen the world after Acceptance?
Structured in three parts, each recounting a new expedition, there are some long-awaited answers here, to be sure, but also more questions, and profound new surprises. Absolution is a brilliant, beautiful, and ever-terrifying plunge into unique and fertile literary territory. It is the final word on one of the most provocative and popular speculative fiction series of our time.
