At less than 120 pages of widely spaced, typewriter-style print, this is an incredibly unsettling little book. It is 2022, and in an unexplained event, all power goes off instantly, everywhere. 5 people are gathered in an apartment in New York when this happens, and they discuss recent events, and speculate about what may have happened, while mayhem begins on the streets outside. That's it. It's a dazzling and bewildering piece of fiction, taking place obliquely to the main events. It was written just prior to Covid.
