In Maia Sepp’s novella An Etiquette Guide to the End Times, Olive writes a blog answering etiquette questions for well-mannered survivalists in the semi-collapsed society. Just because the earth grows warmer every year, beachfront property is now underwater property, and infrastructure has all but collapsed, there’s no reason we have to be impolite about it. Olive only mentions a few recent headlines, inspiring the reader to imagine other potentially awkward social situations in a world where hoarding solar panels is an etiquette breach. Read the rest on my blog This was a pretty good book (my rating is rounded up from a 3.5). I think I just picked it up because I liked the cover, and wow, what a great title! I found the writing a little choppy, probably because of the first person present tense narration. It's an interesting take on the slide into the apocalypse, a no-zombies end time in which people still care about good food. The food descriptions were probably my favorite part of the book. geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe
There aren't any zombies (yet), but the world is still at the brink of destruction: It's 2028 and global warming has led to rising oceans, crazy weather, and resource scarcity. On top of that, someone just turned the Internet off. Seeing as how it's humanity's last chance to turn things around manners are, understandably, a bit frayed. Bookish etiquette buff Olive O'Malley is busy microfarming her urban property and minding her own business (and her chickens) when the government comes calling. Their goal is to push the populace towards carbon-neutrality while keeping kvetching to a minimum, and they come with a proposal: transition Olive's popular etiquette column to a radio show for the masses, and they'll help Olive find her grandfather, who's gone missing.Olive doesn't trust the hipster government officials who try to bribe her with delicious-but-probably-a-little-evil chocolate pastries, and declines their offer. (Politely, of course.) But they won't take no for an answer, and soon Olive is knee-deep in turmoil, eco-terrorism, and missing chickens. Now she has to untangle herself from their demands and figure out how to make sure her family (and her poultry) are safe before it's too late. Geen bibliotheekbeschrijvingen gevonden. |

And hey, just because the world is crashing down, it doesn't mean we have to be rude. ( )
