Event Details

Meg Elison’s Philip K. Dick Award-winning debut The Book of the Unnamed Midwife tells the story of an unnamed woman who survives a plague that, in weeks, wipes out most women and children, leaving 10 male survivors for every woman. Donning male clothing and making it her mission to provide the few surviving women with birth control and medical care, she must navigate her way through a world she once knew to find her place in a dangerous new one.

In her gripping sequel, The Book of Etta, Elison takes readers deeper into her post-apocalyptic world. The story continues many years after the midwife delivered her first child to survive birth. The inhabitants of Nowhere continue to struggle with vestiges of the plague that nearly wiped out earth’s population. Women are scarce and childbearing is dangerous, yet desperately necessary for humankind’s future.
