334

Synopsis

In an overcrowded, bureaucratically managed New York City of the 2020s, the residents of a vast public housing block at 334 East 11th Street navigate welfare rationing, reproductive licensing, and dead-end lives under the administrative state. Six interlinked narratives follow members of the Hanson family and their neighbors as they seek meaning, intimacy, and escape within a society that is decaying rather than collapsing. The novel builds a mosaic portrait of ordinary people enduring a plausibly mundane dystopia.
