Publisher's summary

A bold, addictive and urgent new novel about capitalism, environmental collapse and our near future.

What is really going on?

Patrick Hamlin has come to Hollywood to see his novel be adapted for the screen, but why does he get the feeling that the film project is a smokescreen for something else? Does Cassidy Carter, the troubled starlet due to play the lead, know something he doesn’t? And what is the truth about WAT-R, the synthetic water everyone drinks in LA?

Sharply funny, alluring and devastating, Something New Under the Sun is an unmissable novel for our present moment.

Critic reviews

"A magnificent and stunning novel, by turns hilarious, satirical, moving, and so very, very much what we need in these uncertain times." (Jeff VanderMeer)

"Alexandra Kleeman expertly conjures California noir filtered through the ambient and not-so-ambient apocalypse." (Emma Cline, author of The Girls)

"Written with tremendous verve and flair, Something New Under the Sun is both an urgent novel about our very near future and a deeply addictive pleasure. Constantly surprising and endlessly inventive, every page is saturated with wit, intelligence, and extraordinary prose. Kleeman is a phenomenon, one of the most brilliant and gifted writers at work today." (Katie Kitamura, author of A Separation)

"An immense achievement. Masterful and merciless." (Olivia Sudjic)
