satirical reflection of ecological reality.-Time Genius.-Los Angeles Times Wildly entertaining
and beautifully written.-LitHub East Coast novelist Patrick Hamlin has come to Hollywood with
simple goals in mind: overseeing the production of a film adaptation of one of his books 
preventing starlet Cassidy Carter's disruptive behavior from derailing said production  and
turning this last-ditch effort at career resuscitation into the sort of success that will
dazzle his wife and daughter back home. But California is not as he imagined: Drought  wildfire
and corporate corruption are omnipresent  and the company behind a mysterious new brand of
synthetic water seems to be at the root of it all. Patrick partners with Cassidy-after having
been her reluctant chauffeur for weeks-and the two of them investigate the sun-scorched city's
darker crevices  where they discover that catastrophe resembles order until the last possible
second. In this often-witty and all-too-timely story  Alexandra Kleeman grapples with the
corruption of our environment in the age of alternative facts. Something New Under the Sun is a
meticulous and deeply felt accounting of our very human anxieties  liabilities  dependencies 
and  ultimately  responsibility to truth.
