The Heap: A Novel

"Sean Adams’ debut novel The Heap takes place in the ruins of Los Verticalés, a leviathan 500-story building in the American desert that collapsed mysteriously years ago. The vast pile of rubble is called The Heap, and a loose-knit community has sprung up in order to salvage those remains. Trapped somewhere inside The Heap is a lone survivor, Bernard Anders, who broadcasts a radio show from the depths of the ruins – and when his brother Orville decides to find him, he exhumes devastating truths about not only The Heap, but the entire, teetering social experiment that is America."
