St. John Mandel's (or just Mandel's, if we can trust the author's account on her blog, and I'm inclined to believe the Library of Congress over some mere mortal concerning authors' own names) latest falls in to that category of beautiful and moving post-apocalyptic adventures.
The book opens at a production of King Lear, on the very night the world changes, and then picks up the story Post-A, following a troupe of actors and musicians as they make their way through a dangerous, grim and crazy world. Finely wrought characters, interesting setting, and a good grasp of the story. Well worth the read.
