Have you ever woken up in a rocky wasteland and wondered where the hell you are? If that feeling was a book, it might be City of Orange, where our hero awakes in a post-apocalyptic landscape with no idea who he is and what happened to the world — or why that crow is talking to him…

“City of Orange belongs in a very narrow category, alongside Emily St. John’s Station Eleven, Richard Matheson’s I Am Legend and Cormac McCarthy’s The Road…David Yoon is willing to ask what ‘the End of the World’ really means — and provide the reader with a thoughtful, heartfelt answer.” —San Francisco Chronicle

Heads up: Despite a healthy dose of humor, City of Orange’s narrator must do what he can to survive, and at least one crow meets a grisly end.
