She spent her days churning out best-selling romances that she deemed "mindless crap" and harbored a corresponding contempt for her fans, hiding both her queerness and her more serious literary ambitions in a bid for broader appeal.

"The word for snow will be the snow," says one, foreseeing a time when language itself will be scorched away by some cosmic fatality.

In her debut novel, the Portland author follows Annie, clutching a plush caterpillar toy and ignoring a gash in her elbow, as she walks - walks! - in her inadequate Birkenstocks and ridiculous maternity romper through a hellish landscape. She treks all the way from the big Ikea out by the Portland airport to a school in Southeast Portland, where a fellow traveler searches for her daughter in the rubble.
