In print for the first time, Tuvim’s seminal lost work
JOSHUA CITY IS ONE OF SEVEN MAJOR CITY-STATES, A POST-APOCALYPTIC ALTERNATE REALITY WHERE WATER IS SCARCE AND TECHNOLOGY IS AT MID-TWENTIETH-CENTURY SOVIET LEVELS. AS THE NOVEL OPENS, THE BAIKAL SEA HAS BEEN POISONED, CAUSING A MAJOR OUTBREAK OF A LEPROSY-LIKE DISEASE CALLED NECROSIS. AGAINST THIS BACKDROP OF INCREASING VIOLENCE AND OPPRESSION, WE SEE THE LIVES OF SEVERAL CHARACTERS PLAY OUT.
“A cautionary tale, historical artifact, and literary
work of the highest artistry.”
