In Amy DeBellis’ debut novel, The Hours meets My Year of Rest and Relaxation as, sometime in the near future, three Gen Z women ride the throes of late capitalist life in New York City.
In All Our Tomorrows, Janet, Anna, and Gemma lead separate lives, each ground down by the weight of the world they were born into, lost against the dazzling pixelated backdrop of the city. Too young to remember life before the iPhone 4, they think the real world was destroyed long before they were born.
Janet is an underpaid gig therapist who spends her time as a mental health matchmaker, responding to grievance letters from faceless online avatars. Anna is a model-turned-sugar-baby who dissociates during dates with her aging daddy, hoping to save enough not for a Birkin bag, but for the water wars of the near future. And Gemma is a freshman at NYU who aspires to become an influencer but is so haunted by a recent loss that she can’t even film one video.
Sharp, incisive, and sparkling with dark humor, this is a novel for the age of the doomer generation. DeBellis delivers an unflinching examination of three young lives as they circle closer and closer to the drain of nihilism, climate anxiety, isolation, and grief. All Our Tomorrows is about finding yourself in a broken world, and the small but mighty decisions that can save you from leaking down the drain.
ADVANCE PRAISE
"Weaving the stories of three very different women who are similarly failing through their lives and their searches for belonging, this book acknowledges the nihilism of our era while managing, still, to answer it with hope. With deft, confident prose, and characters that feel as real as one's own skin, Amy DeBellis' All Our Tomorrows is a compulsively readable debut novel."
—Erin Slaughter, author of A Manual for How to Love Us: Stories
"In this powerful and prescient debut novel, three young women struggle to discover who they are, what they want, and how to build a life while facing the imminent catastrophe of climate change. In prose both poetic and poignant, DeBellis shows how the smallest decisions can bring the greatest change to our lives—and, hopefully, to our world and its future. All Our Tomorrows is a must-read for anyone wondering how to live on—and fight back—in the face of a future that looks like the end."
—Emma Bolden, author of The Tiger and the Cage: A Memoir of a Body in Crisis
