The best-selling author of The Small Backs of Children offers a perspective of our close to extinction and a heroine - a reimagined Joan of Arc - poised to save lots of a world ravaged by war, assault, and greed and forever change history in this provocative new book. Soon, world wars have changed the planet earth into a battleground. Fleeing the unending assault and the planet's now-radioactive surface, humans have regrouped on a mysterious platform known as CIEL, hovering over their erstwhile home. The altered world has transformed progression on its mind: The surviving humans have grown to be sexless, hairless, pale-white creatures floating in isolation, inscribing experiences upon their skin area. Out of the ranks of the unlimited wars increases Jean de Men, a charismatic and bloodthirsty cult innovator who converts CIEL into a quasicorporate law enforcement state. A group of rebels unite to dismantle his flat iron guideline - galvanized by the heroic tune of Joan, a child warrior who offers a mysterious force that lives within her and communes with the planet earth. When de Men and his armies turn Joan into a martyr, the consequences are astonishing. And nobody - not the rebels, Jean de Men, or even Joan herself - can foresee just how her report and unique surprise will forge the future of an entire world for decades. A riveting tale of damage and love found in the direst of places - even at the extreme end of posthuman experience - Lidia Yuknavitch's The E book of Joan boosts questions about what this means to be individuals, the fluidity of sex and gender, and the role of fine art as a means for survival.
