Prior to these last months of her pregnancy, she worked in public health, and had been tracking a new disease called cutis, in which people’s skin grows rampantly over their orifices and often kills them (from suffocation or sepsis). Pete is excited to be living in a place with fresh air and a social environment that suits his affable laziness, but Alice feels trapped. Alice and Pete leave “the city” for Lakoomba, a country town with few residents and little infrastructure. Set in the near future in Australia, this speedy novel follows a woman in late pregnancy trying to live as safely as she can among terrors and dangers that, though fictional, feel distinctly real. Looking for a book more depressing and upsetting than Margaret Atwood’s apocalyptica? Naomi Booth’s Sealed is the one for you.

This anniversary edition features a new introduction by Delpit as well as new framing essays by Herbert Kohl and Charles Payne.
