The Blondes

The Blondes on NPR’s Best Books of 2015 list and a Bookpage Best Book of 2015 “Emily Schultz is my new hero.” —Stephen KingThe Blondes is a hilarious and whip-smart novel where an epidemic of a rabies-like disease is carried only by blonde women, all of whom must go to great lengths to conceal their blondeness.
Emily Schultz’s beautifully realized novel is a mix of satire, thriller, and serious literary work. With biting satiric wit, The Blondes is at once an examination of the complex relationships between women and a merciless but giddily enjoyable portrait of what happens in a world where beauty is—literally—deadly.
