From the award-winning author of The Feral Detective and Motherless Brooklyn comes an utterly original post-collapse yarn about two siblings, the man that came between them, and a nuclear-powered super car.
Written with unrepentant joy and shot through with just the right amount of contemporary dread, The Arrest is speculative fiction at its absolute finest..
Can it be that Todbaum wants to produce one more extravaganza? Whatever he\'s up to, it may fall to Journeyman to stop him.
Plopping back into the siblings\' life with his usual odious panache, his motives are entirely unclear.
Todbaum has spent the Arrest smashing his way across a fragmented and phantasmagorical United States, trailing enmities all the way.
But then Todbaum shows up in an extraordinary vehicle: a retrofitted tunnel-digger powered by a nuclear reactor.
There he assists the butcher and delivers the food grown by his sister, Maddy, at her organic farm.
Sandy, who calls himself Journeyman, has landed in rural Maine.
Now, post-Arrest, nothing is what it was.
That didn\'t hurt.
An old college friend and writing partner, the charismatic and malicious Peter Todbaum, had become one of the most powerful men in Hollywood.
Before the Arrest, Sandy Duplessis had a reasonably good life as a screenwriter in L.
A. . . .
It\'s just what happens when much of what we take for granted--cars, guns, computers, and airplanes, for starters--quits working.
It isn\'t a utopia.
It isn\'t a dystopia.
The Arrest isn\'t post-apocalypse.
