While others, like her partner Vikram, attempt to assimilate, Hel refuses to reclaim her former career or create a new life.
The slang and technology are foreign to her, the politics and art unrecognizable. As one of the thousands who fled the outbreak of nuclear war in an alternate United States―an alternate timeline―she finds herself living as a refugee in our own not-so-parallel New York. Wherever Hel looks, New York City is both reassuringly familiar and terribly wrong. A Most Anticipated Book of 2019 at The Verge, Barnes & Noble Sci-Fi & Fantasy Blog, and more.įor readers of Station Eleven and Exit West, Famous Men Who Never Lived explores the effects of displacement on our identities, the communities that come together through circumstance, and the power of art to save us.
