![]() “‘I was confused by your book,’ a woman in Dallas said. ![]() Then we jump again, to a section called “Last Book Tour on Earth,” in which a celebrated author, Olive Llewellyn, makes a long series of publicity stops in 2203, answering the same questions over and over about her famous pandemic novel. From there we jump to the year 2020 and the story of Mirella, whose husband killed himself after losing everything in a Ponzi scheme. In a forest near Vancouver, he encounters a strange man dressed as a priest with an unplaceable accent. We begin by following a young man across 1912 Canada after he’s been exiled by his family in England. It’s transporting and brilliant and generous, and I haven’t ever read anything quite like it. "Sea of Tranquility" is full of grandeur, but without even a whiff of grandiosity. ![]()
