From the award-winning author of Sharks in the Time of Saviors, a sweeping and epic tale of resilience amidst a devastating storm.

Naomi is a fighter—a student of boxing who takes out her own personal frustrations in the classroom, with low success. But when a calamitous weather event strikes America, she is forced to enter a new fight for survival. The storm is coined “the Ultra,” causing massive levels of destruction and uprooting the lives of Naomi and Amaré, a man she meets for the first time as the Ultra forces the two of them out of their building.

As the pair seek refuge and their bond strengthens, they must navigate how to live—and how to love—in a world where environmental ruin mirrors the societal and political upheaval that feels all too familiar.

批評家のレビュー

"Washburn’s unique narrative style lends itself to a clear-eyed, yet surprisingly optimistic take on climate disaster in a richly textured story."
Town & Country

". . . Cerebral, muscular, electric, moving us through disaster with a light touch, consistently tempered with tenderness, humor, and love, often gorgeous with poetry, and deeply insightful about what it means to be human now and moving forward. . . a fiercely original, relentlessly paced epic of climate catastrophe, exploring the jagged edges of American identity. . . a profound meditation and exploration of the debt the old world owes the new, told with the undeniable pulse of those left fighting in the ruins, here to name with a kind of nuclear power what it means to be alive inside the doomed and beautiful brilliance of the devastation of ends, of change, of life itself."
—Tommy Orange, author of Wandering Stars and There, There

"A luminous and large-hearted exploration of the dyad between person and planet, the ways we both degrade and illumine each other. Extraordinary."
—Tochi Onyebuchi, author of Riot Baby and Goliath

"This novel starts fast and never lets up. Carried along by waves of powerful, gorgeous prose, the story transports the reader across time and space, across land and sea. Kawai Strong Washburn weaves the political, social, environmental, and personal into a work of moral imagination that speaks to our moment with insight, clarity, and power."
—Charles Yu, author of Interior Chinatown

"The Names of the New World follows three strangers bonded as kin by a storm, tracing their entwined lives across decades of environmental devastation. You cannot help but fall in love with Washburn’s flawed and resolute protagonists as they march themselves, hearts open and fists swinging, into battles they know they cannot win. A tender look at what is maimed and spared when the physical world collapses around us, this book is a testament to the enduring worth of our fragile human bonds."
Tessa Hulls, Pulitzer Prize-winning author of Feeding Ghosts

"A beautifully-written, deeply felt novel. Washburn breathes life into every page and depth into every character. A wonderful achievement!"
—Jason Mott, National Book Award-winning author of Hell of a Book

"With The Names of the New World, Kawai Strong Washburn has delivered a startling, thrilling novel that ventures bravely into our near future—replete with superstorms, rising tides, mass displacements—and emerges with a vision that feels new and inspiring. An epic account of the fight for human dignity and an intimate, unforgettable story of love, ambition, and resilience."
—Adam Johnson, author of The Wayfinder
