It's hard to balance compelling storytelling with explorations of complex social problems, but this is what Andrew F. Sullivan does in The Marigold. This novel takes place in near-future Toronto and examines the lives of several main characters as they fight the impending disaster of "the Wet," a sentient mold that grows stronger with each body it absorbs. The epicenter of this toxicity is a huge, mostly-empty apartment building, a rich man's folly named The Marigold. This book poses so many questions about our collective problems, but it’s also a fun and fascinating ride as a few vivid characters try desperately to save their city.
Looking forward to this dang book
Great interview!
