A superstorm is ravaging present-day Minneapolis. In its wake, three strangers are thrown together:
Naomi is a lawyer by day and an amateur MMA fighter by night, a Hawaiian transplanted to the Midwest for her less-than-satisfying career. Amaré is a young investment banker who has some grand intentions for all the money he’s about to make. And Raheem is a diesel truck mechanic who finds himself in very bad shape.

As the ecological repercussions of the storm launch her latest case to national prominence, Naomi’s relationship with her new-found companions is severely tested. It soon becomes clear to Naomi that the storm, and subsequent weather disasters, are preventable and manmade. When she initiates a legal battle in response, she finds herself propelled to Washington, DC, and her push for change reaches a violent climax.
Like The Bonfire of the Vanities for the age of extinction, The Names of the New World is a startling, energetic and optimistic novel, a gripping saga of our times and of the times to come.

批評家のレビュー

"A fiercely original, relentlessly paced epic of climate catastrophe, exploring the jagged edges of American identity" (TOMMY ORANGE)
"Carried along by waves of powerful, gorgeous prose, The Names of the New World transports the reader across time and space, across land and sea. 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)
"Praise for SHARKS IN THE TIME OF SAVIOURS: 'As vivid as it is splendid'" (IMBOLO MBUE)
"Beautifully written and completely absorbing. Sentences sparkle, the narrative voices remain distinctive and complete, and the deep notes of magic sound under the realism of poverty and loss. I didn't want it to end" (SARAH MOSS)
"The novel you never knew you were waiting for . . . a ferocious debut" (MARLON JAMES)
"Bursts with life . . . revelatory and unputdownable. Washburn is an extraordinarily brilliant new talent" (TOMMY ORANGE)
"An electrifying, heart-wrenching exploration of how life, hope and goodness persist in the aftermath of loss"
"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')
"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" (JASON MOTT)
