Description
A young libertarian flu fighter huddles at home in New York’s East Village, blogging about a devastating avian flu pandemic as he sells masks, gloves, and goggles over the Internet. An intriguing, vexing woman stalks him while he delves into the mysteries of influenza and serves up colorful commentary on the chaos swirling around—and within—his world.
When 'Count Blogula' gets involved with some lively community flu activists, he collides with a government bent on controlling Americans as if they were viral intruders. With the U.S. staggering through a kind of national Katrina—Chinatown a smoky ruin, Atlanta evacuated, Houston blown up—he must fight both the system and the contagion to save his life and love.
"By far the best stab at the future of the novel I've seen ... The story of a flu-obsessed blogger who predicts a flu pandemic and then records its ravages, Hall taps into a deep literary vein of paranoia ... This novel-as-blog soon had me wiping down every surface in reach with disinfectant ... You’re missing something if you miss American Fever.” -Court Merrigan
“A modern take on Daniel Defoe’s A Journal of the Plague Year ... The novel is well researched and notable for pointing out what we know, or perhaps more importantly don’t know, about influenza ... perfectly captures the unique tone often struck by even the most professional bloggers ... intimate slices of life amid the horror, inspirational impressions of perseverance and survival in a time of great crisis.” -Kirkus Reviews
“A very clever work of fiction ... Hall is a keen social observer ... You’ll find yourself clicking next page after next page.” -The Devil's Accountant
"Biting political commentary interlaces the suspenseful, near-apocalyptic main narrative ... Suspenseful and terrifying, American Fever will keep the reader glued to the page until the very end."-Midwest Book Review
