Sinopse

A joyfully freewheeling, funny and profound novel from ‘one of the most inventive, adventurous and accomplished fiction writers in the US today’ (Lionel Shriver)

Welcome to America. On the East Coast, homes are being swallowed by the ocean; on the West Coast, California is engulfed with wildfire.

But for one family, the impending environmental disaster is the least of their worries. Party girl Cat just impulse-purchased a snake; her pious brother Cooper is wrestling with a tic bite; and their mom Ottilie has resorted to cooking with crickets. Everyone is drinking too much – and the bugs seems to be disappearing. It seems as if it's anything but blue skies ahead...

A delightfully dark comedy of manners about family life at the end of the world, Blue Skies is a masterful new adventure from one of the America’s great comic writers.

Resumo da Crítica

Is climate change funny? Yes, in the brilliantly imaginative T. C. Boyle’s hands, in a terrifying way. Blue Skies is both comic and wrenching … A black arrow of unimaginable horror shoots through the novel’s centre and Boyle leads us to contemplate the “inexpressible sadness at the heart of everything” – and a morsel of the world’s inexpressible beauty (ANNIE PROULX)
Boyle has a talent for describing events we may never experience with an arresting matter-of-factness. There is a thrill to this, and to not knowing where he will take us next (CHRIS POWER)
Boyle is a writer who chooses a large canvas and fills it to the edges (BARBARA KINGSOLVER)
