Something New Under the Sun is a 2021 novel by American writer Alexandra Kleeman. The novel takes place in the near future in which California has been rendered nearly uninhabitable by climate change.
Composition and writing
[edit]Kleeman wanted to include climate change in her novel in a way that was portrayed it as "[...feeling] more present and bodily".[1] She set the novel in California, inspired by her childhood in the southern portion of the state.[2] Kleeman deliberately wrote the opening of the book as a "realist novel" and made the story more "speculative" as it continued.[3]
