Paperback. A feminist utopia crumbles with one impossible birth.On an isolated mountaintop, a small feminist community is fracturing under the weight of ideological divides and dwindling numbers. Mila struggles to hold the women together, while deeper in the bush her aunt Frank - an ailing recluse - lives with only her dog, Chicken Midnight, for company. Nearby, an orchid endling approaches its own death, and the extinction of its entire species.As Frank grows increasingly unwell and secretive about her condition, the community women begin mysteriously falling pregnant. When Mila gives birth to the only boy, their hardline separatist ideals face an impossible test.Vividly expressed, wildly funny, and wholly original, The Endling examines the volatile intersection of community and politics, exploring what happens when the borders we construct between species, between sexes, between self and world prove more porous than we imagine.'It's a lush, slightly uncanny utopian novel that delves into feminine power and desire.'-Cameron Woodhead, The Sydney Morning Herald'Keely Jobe's The Endling is an exquisite debut. A novel that goes right to the heart of urgent environmental, gender, and multispecies conversations and practices, and then probes further - it blooms! I am blown away by the majesty of Jobe's world - managing voices across species, with an intimacy that speaks to everyone. This is the novel we need to be reading right now.'-Laura Jean McKay, author of The Animals in That Country'Enthralling . Jobe renders the world on the mountain in such vivid detail that it comes alive on the page . The Endling asks searing questions about what it means to fully embody your beliefs, and what happens when humanity is sacrificed in the name of the greater good.'-Tierney Khan, Books+Publishing Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.
