A man wakes up in an unknown landscape, injured and alone. He used to live in a place called California, but how did he wind up here with a head wound and a bottle of pills in his pocket? He navigates his surroundings, one rough shape at a time. Here lies a pipe, there a reed that could be carved into a weapon, beyond a city he once lived in. He could swear his daughter's name began with a J, but what was it, exactly? Then he encounters an old man, a crow, and a boy--and realizes that nothing is what he thought it was, neither the present nor the past. He can't even recall the features of his own face, and wonders: who am I? Harrowing and haunting but also humorous in the face of the unfathomable, David Yoon's City of Orange is a novel about reassembling the things that make us who we are, and finding the way home again.… (meer)

2023 book #15. 2022. A man wakes up, injured, alone without a memory of who he is or where he is (in a dried river culvert). From what he can see the world has ended. His trip back to himself and the world was a great read. Recommended. (

The City of Orange by David Yoon is a story about Adam Cheung a 37-year-old Korean man that wakes up at the bottom of a culvert in an apocalyptic landscape with no memory of who he is and how he got there. He gradually recovers memories of his wife, child, and best friend as he tries to survive by finding water, shelter, and food. The main character is likable, and you root for him even through the continuing recovery of his memories is heart-breaking. The pace was quick as most times, the only slow parts were when the character was stuck between the desire to move on and the dread of the recovery of more painful memories. Topics of survival and grief. I really enjoyed this book and highly recommend it. I blazed through it in two days, reading it on my phone every chance I had. Check trigger warnings.

Thank you to NetGalley for ARC. (

Well written but now what I was expecting. A sad story about a man who wakes up in a cement gulley in the desert or what he believes was some sort of apocalypse. As he slowly gains back his memory of the time before he has to decide where to pick up his life.
A sorrowful tale about grief, the ones we love and the decisions we make about how to live our life. (

It is very disappointing but honestly I was just bored while reading. It is a very interesting take on a dystopia, but I am never really drawn into the world or care about the main character. (

fiction - man awakens in an empty Los Angeles canal with a bump on his head, his wallet missing, amnesia, and the certainty that all is lost, and that the world has turned horribly wrong. TW: car accident, loss of wife and daughter, horrifyingly tragic video footage, all kinds of internet awfulness, alcoholism, suicidal ideation

It turns out not to be an apocalypse, but Adam doesn't know that. This is definitely a lot darker than Yoon's teen rom-coms, but it was interesting to see what various authors have been working on during the COVID pandemic. (
