To celebrate, the insular island city has engaged the illustrator Raven, who promises to deliver the most astonishing spectacle its residents have ever seen. As the entire island comes together for the event, we meet an unforgettable cross-section of its inhabitants, from activists to nihilists, art stars to athletes, families to inveterate loners. Soon, however, what has promised to be a triumph of civic harmony begins to reveal its shadow side. And when Raven's illustration exceeds even the most extreme of expectations, the island is plunged into a series of unnatural disasters that force people to confront what they are really made of. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ci\u003ePeople Park\u003c\/i\u003e is a tour de force of eerily prescient, grotesque, and hilarious observation and a narrative of gripping, unrelenting suspense.
