Absolution
By Vandermeer, Jeff
The surprise fourth volume in Jeff VanderMeer's Southern Reach series -- and the final word on one of the most provocative and popular speculative fiction series of our time.. When the Southern Reach trilogy was first published a decade ago, it was an instant sensation, celebrated in a front-page New York Times story before publication, hailed by Stephen King and many others. Each volume climbed the bestseller list; awards were won; the books made the rare transition from paperback original to hardcover; the movie adaptation became a cult classic. All told, the trilogy has sold more than a million copies and has secured its place in the pantheon of twenty-first-century literature.. And yet for all this, for Jeff VanderMeer there was never full closure to the story of Area X.
