City of Girls is Elizabeth Gilbert's love letter to women who refuse to apologize for wanting pleasure. Set in 1940s New York City, it follows Vivian Morris, a wealthy young woman who gets kicked out of Vassar for failing her classes and is sent to live with her Aunt Peg, who runs a crumbling midtown theater called the Lily Playhouse. What follows is a headlong plunge into the world of showgirls, nightclubs, and sexual freedom that Vivian never knew existed.

New York 2140 is Kim Stanley Robinson's vision of Manhattan after the oceans have risen fifty feet, and it's the rare climate fiction novel that understands the catastrophe won't end capitalism — it'll just create new markets.

Publishers Weekly gave it 9.50 out of 10. Kirkus called it exuberant. A picaresque memoir about daring to live an unlikely life in a society that punishes those who try.
