This novel, an absolutely excellent piece of literary fiction, affected me and moved me in a beautiful way. I ordered this book on a whim - as the plot description intrigued me - knowing nothing about the author, but oh, am I glad that I did!... A true talent was facing me throughout these pages. Against all odds in my case, I could relate to the characters' experiences and life paths - which I can only attribute to true talent. And the language, the expression, the insight - I am really impressed with all of it. I am definitely going to seek G. Bump's earlier work. I had a hard time putting the book down. The author is not offering a solution for society's ills, but he does make you think and feel and dream and want to experiment - all to the point of creating a less flaw-ridden world. näyttää 2/2 ei arvosteluja | lisää arvostelu

"The New Naturals" by Gabriel Bump takes readers on a thought-provoking journey into a world where hope and despair collide in the pursuit of a new beginning. Set against the backdrop of an abandoned restaurant in Western Massachusetts, the story centers around Rio, a young Black woman who, devastated by the loss of her newborn child, seeks solace and purpose in the creation of an underground society.
What starts as a seemingly simple idea transforms into a utopian experiment with the potential to offer sanctuary, acceptance, and equality to those who join. Bump introduces a diverse cast of characters, each driven by their own motivations, who come together in pursuit of a shared dream. Two unhoused men embark on a journey from Chicago, a disillusioned journalist seeks to be a part of this unconventional society, and a former soccer player looking for a fresh start agrees to investigate this intriguing venture.
At its core, "The New Naturals" delves deep into the yearning for meaning and belonging, as well as the desire to escape the existential challenges of life on the surface. Bump skillfully weaves together the narratives of these characters, exploring their hopes, fears, and the complexities of human nature. Readers are invited to ponder the fundamental question: can this utopian experiment truly succeed in providing the solace and equality its members seek?
Bump's writing is both engaging and thought-provoking, addressing themes of community, belonging, and the human condition. The novel challenges readers to consider the feasibility of creating a society that can provide genuine refuge from the struggles of the world above. As the story unfolds, tensions rise, and the characters must grapple with the potential consequences of their choices.
"The New Naturals" is a compelling exploration of human resilience, the pursuit of a better life, and the intricate dynamics of community. Gabriel Bump's narrative captivates with its blend of social commentary, character-driven storytelling, and its ability to provoke introspection. This novel is a powerful reminder that even in the face of adversity, the quest for a better world and a sense of belonging remains a timeless and universal aspiration. ( )
