A Song for a New DayRead about another entry on the list.
Sarah Pinsker
Pinsker's novel is set in a post-pandemic U.S. where large gatherings are banned and the only way to experience live music is virtually. Kinda like now. But scrappy groups of musicians and fans get together in secret, in warehouses and basements and barns, bonding and building community. Reading the book now is a little unsettling since we’re in the before and the during, but it gives hope for what might come after.
A Song for a New Day is among Mike Chen's five top novels about finding hope at the end of the world.
