The Future Future

It's 1775, and Celine is in trouble. From colonial America to this very moment to the moon, this is a historical novel like no other 'Unlike anything else you'll read this (or any other) year' SALMAN RUSHDIE, Booker Prize-winning author of Midnight's Children 'A radically beautiful new novel' SHEILA HETI, author of Pure Colour 'A book filled with imaginative leaps' COLM TÓIBÍN, author of Brooklyn It's the eighteenth century, and Celine is in trouble. Her husband is mostly absent. Her parents are elsewhere. And meanwhile men are inventing stories about her - about her affairs, her sexuality, her orgies and addictions. All these stories are lies, but the public loves them - spreading them like a virus. Celine can only watch as her name becomes a symbol for everything rotten this society ruled by men high on colonial genocide, natural destruction, and crimes against women. To survive, Celine and her friends must band together in search of justice, truth and beauty. Fantastical, funny and blindingly bright, The Future Future follows one woman on an urgently contemporary quest to clear her name and change the world.
