MOON OF THE CRUSTED SNOW BY WAUBGESHIG RICERead about another entry on the list.
This one of those books where the setting is so vivid and alive that it feels like a central character. It’s set in a small, remote Anishinaabe community in northern Canada. The story begins when suddenly all contact to the outside world is cut off: phones go dead, power goes out, the internet disappears. Not knowing what is happening, the people in the community struggle to make sense of their new reality as the coming winter looms closer and closer. This is a thoughtful, deliciously slow-moving, and often chilling post-apocalyptic novel about what holds a community together and what can tear it apart.
--Marshal Zeringue
