This is the roller-coaster ride that is Hummingbird Salamander, the new novel from Jeff VanderMeer, the Tallahassee, Fla., author who’s carved out a surreal, slick and sometimes sick space in the burgeoning literary genre known as the New Weird.Īlready a critical favourite thanks his 2014 sci-fi thriller Annihilation – the first entry in his Southern Reach trilogy, which was turned into the acclaimed 2018 Natalie Portman thriller – VanderMeer just might achieve household (or, Weird Household) status with Hummingbird Salamander. And suddenly you’re plunged into a world of animal traffickers, rogue taxidermists, eco-terrorists and at least one pandemic.
