TNB Book Club Selections
FEBRUARY
Blueprints of the Afterlife, by Ryan Boudinot
Grove Press
It is the Afterlife. The end of the world is a distant, distorted memory called “the Age of F***ed Up Shit.” A sentient glacier has wiped out most of North America. Medical care is supplied by open-source nanotechnology, and human nervous systems can be hacked. Abby Fogg is a film archivist with a niggling feeling that her life is not really her own. She may be right. Al Skinner is a former mercenary for the Boeing Army, who’s been dragging his war baggage behind him for nearly a century. Woo-jin Kan is a virtuoso dishwasher with the Hotel and Restaurant Management Olympics medals to prove it. Over them all hovers a mysterious man named Dirk Bickle, who sends all these characters to a full-scale replica of Manhattan under construction in Puget Sound. An ambitious novel that writes large the hopes and anxieties of our time—climate change, social strife, the depersonalization of the digital age—Blueprints of the Afterlife will establish Ryan Boudinot as an exceptional novelist of great daring.

TNB Book Club FAQ
What is it?
It’s a book club. Each month, we’ll be featuring a new title, hand-picked by TNB’s editors.
How does it work?
At the beginning of each month, a book will be mailed directly to your door. Depending on the publisher and its plans for the specific title, the book will either be a hardcover or a paperback. It should be noted that members may receive advanced review copies, particularly for titles distributed prior to publication.
The TNB Book Club is going to be diverse in its offerings. From month to month, we’ll be featuring both fiction and nonfiction — novels, story collections, memoirs, anthologies, translations, histories, biographies, true crime, you name it.
We will sometimes be featuring new titles, pre-publication, and will also be featuring already-published titles that did not receive the attention in the marketplace that we feel they deserved — overlooked gems by underrated authors.
It’s going to be a mixture.
The common denominator, of course, is that we’re always going to be working hard to offer you great books on a monthly basis.
Who do I contact if I have problems or questions?

What is Other People?
Other People with Brad Listi is a twice-weekly podcast hosted by TNB founding editor Brad Listi featuring “in-depth, inappropriate interviews with today’s leading authors.” Authors featured in the TNB Book Club will appear on the show and will be interviewed. You can subscribe to the podcast, free of charge, at iTunes or Stitcher, or else you can listen at the show’s official website.
Are there refunds?
You cannot get a refund for a book you’ve already received or a payment that has already been processed. But you may cancel your subscription at any time. Just click “Unsubscribe” at the bottom of this page. Or unsubscribe at Paypal.
