On a normal day, it's difficult for Beatrice and the other staff--Arda, Carmen, and Linda--to keep their cool in dust-blown Askewn. But when a heat wave triggers a massive, sustained blackout, Beatrice and the other staff and residents must evacuate. Facing police brutality, sweltering heat, panicked evacuees, the girls' mounting withdrawal, and the consequences of her own lies, they search for a route out of the blackout zone. A catastrophe novel by turns tender and hilarious, fueled by a low-simmering political rage, \u003ci\u003eHappy Bad\u003c\/i\u003e is a rocket arrived on Earth.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eDelaney Nolan received her MFA in fiction from the Iowa Writers' Workshop, where she was a Rona Jaffe fellow.
