![]() ![]() The book is a fairly straightforward conservative libertarian nightmare. The Mandibles are forced first to cram together into the modest Brooklyn home of elder sister Florence - the bleeding-heart liberal of the family - and then to escape New York City entirely and flee upstate to farmland. The book follows the respectable, upper-middle-class Mandible family as the economy collapses and the country devolves into chaos. This is the world as described in Orange Prize–winning Lionel Shriver’s new dystopian novel, The Mandibles: A Family, 2029-2047. If only we had listened to the precocious libertarian children of the world and invested in gold, rather than trusting those elitist socialists who run the economy and the immigrants who run the government. It’s 2029, the dollar has collapsed, and America is on the brink of ruin. ![]()
