Yet salvation may come from an unlikely source. But the Bobs are less disciplined than a herd of cats, and some of the younger copies are more concerned with their own local problems than defeating the Others. Still stinging from getting their collective butts kicked in their first encounter with the Others, the Bobs now face the prospect of a decisive final battle to defend Earth and its colonies. And the Bobs have picked a fight with an older, more powerful species with a large appetite and a short temper. But political squabbles have a bad habit of dying hard, and the Brazilian probes are still trying to take out the competition. They've created enough colonies so humanity shouldn't go extinct. But after spreading out through space for almost a century, Bob and his clones just can't stay out of trouble.

The concept occurred to me during the summer of 2005 when I was in an actual teashop called Sherlock's of Celebration. Why tea? Where did you get the idea for The Teashop Girls? I am serving her favorite, English Breakfast with lots of milk and sugar. Laura Schaefer, author of the middle grade novel The Teashop Girls (Paula Wiseman Books, 2008), is here with me today for some tea and conversation about her book. Annie's ready with her multistep Save the Leaf Action Plan, but will it be enough? Can Annie rally her friends to save the Leaf before the teashop and the Teashop Girls are history? But an eviction notice spells trouble for the Steeping Leaf.

Considering this unsettled context might help us to understand why Whitehead, a MacArthur fellow and a celebrated literary stylist, would write a zombie novel. Nevertheless, the desire to imagine and model the future persists. More broadly, the precarious nature of contemporary human existence has led Eugene Thacker to assert that many thinkers and artists have been drawn to the tropes of horror and the apocalyptic because “he world is increasingly unthinkable” (1). is currently in an era in which “what will come next seems increasingly unimaginable” (186). This uncertainty stems from the tension between the pervasiveness of futurism in political and economic discourses and a heightened sense of the precariousness of human existence. The problem of ending is especially fraught in contemporary American literature because the present moment is characterized by historiographical uncertainty. Colson Whitehead’s narrative of the zombie apocalypse, Zone One, is a metafictional reflection on apocalyptic narrative conventions, particularly the question of ending. The title is a quote from "The Collared Signal", about people who live on a spaceship with a farm inside getting attacked by space pirates-except that both ships-the farmers and the pirates-are big poly families with same-sex relationships and kids and everything. There's a South Asian diaspora woman on a space colony breaking military rules to save her son's husband from giant bug aliens. There are ice dragons on a winter planet, dystopian struggles in a world fucked up by global warming, and a man who can see the future so he already knows who his future husband is when he meets him-and then fails to make a good impression.

Because damn, Fierce Family is gorgeous.
