Everything Happened at Once by Chin-yong Ch'oe

What is the date today? Here, time doesn't pass in days. I wouldn't be surprised if spring slid straight into summer, if I looked at a clear lake and saw an old woman in my reflection. A mutant virus has swept half of the world's population overnight. The known world has collapsed. The new world is a lawless place where children's livers are believed to provide immunity. In one apartment block, an unlikely pack break out of quarantine in a stolen lorry and brave an achingly empty world once teeming with colour. The desolate reaches of Eurasia are signposted with fellow defectors and found family. A wandering travel agent. A mixed-race divorcee embracing her sacred desire. A deaf girl traversing the frozen continent barefoot. How do you find a way forward in a world turned upside down?
