From 2020 National Book Award winner Charles Yu, The Only Living Girl on Earth is an unexpected and delightfully absurd vision of life on Earth a thousand years in the future.This genre-defying short work of literary fiction has all the trademarks of Yu’s other work: humor, inventiveness, elegant precision, and heart. Inspired by Ray Bradbury’s “There Will Come Soft Rains,” the story tackles climate change and consumerism, but through Yu’s unique brand of cosmic humanism it ultimately comes off as a tribute to humanity.
