"...a Dystopia set in a moderately distant Near Future America, in the Ecologically-beleaguered setting known as B-Mor, a Keep-like enclave built on the ruins of Baltimore, Maryland. The residents of B-Mor live under threat of a plague which inevitably kills its victims. The hierarchy-ridden world of B-Mor, whose exam-based but dubious meritocracy can be read as a Satire of South Korea today, offers successful citizens an exit to one of the "Charter" settlements, whose suburban nature is clearly satirical of modern America." [JC] Encyclopedia of SF, Internet 3rd Edition.
Sinopsis
From the beloved award-winning author of Native Speaker and The Surrendered , a highly provocative, deeply affecting story of one woman’s legendary quest in a shocking, future America. On Such a Full Sea takes Chang-rae Lee’s elegance of prose, his masterly storytelling, and his long-standing interests in identity, culture, work, and love, and lifts them to a new plane. Stepping from the realistic and historical territories of his previous work, Lee brings us into a world created from scratch. Against a vividly imagined future America, Lee tells a stunning, surprising, and riveting story that will change the way readers think about the world they live in. In a future, long-declining America, society is strictly stratified by class. Long-abandoned urban neighborhoods have been repurposed as highwalled, self-contained labor colonies. And the members of the labor class—descendants of those brought over en masse many years earlier from environmentally ruined provincial China—find purpose and identity in their work to provide pristine produce and fish to the small, elite, satellite charter villages that ring the labor settlement. In this world lives Fan, a female fish-tank diver, who leaves her home in the B-Mor settlement (once known as Baltimore), when the man she loves mysteriously disappears. Fan’s journey to find him takes her out of the safety of B-Mor, through the anarchic Open Counties, where crime is rampant with scant governmental oversight, and to a faraway charter village, in a quest that will soon become legend to those she left behind.
