The Unmapping
by Denise S. Robbins
I have been anticipating this book ever since first hearing about it and was immediately hooked based on the premise alone: NYC wakes up to find that all of the buildings have switched locations overnight and continue to “unmap” each night with no explanation or end in sight. I was captivated by the beautiful literary writing of debut writer, Denise Robbins and especially appreciated listening to the audio book – read by the talented Julia Whalen. Immediately after finishing, I wanted to talk about this book with everyone who has read it. Although the story features Esme and Arjun (of NYC’s Emergency Management), it also shows us a peek into the lives of so many other interesting characters. Whether or not this is the type of book you would normally pick up, it’s an ideal pick for discussion with no storage of themes and topics including: political turmoil, cult activity, mental health struggles, religious beliefs, a missing child, climate change, and challenging family and relationship dynamics. Add in the mystery of why and how the unmapping is taking place, and you’ll be thinking and talking about this novel for days!
