Ply A Novel

Praise for Ply

A page-turning, pleasurably disorienting, and deeply humane vision of a possible future.
Vogue

"Ply is majestic. A cracked mirror world, a lot like ours; peopled by survivors, a lot like us; sentences so fine they break the skin; a plot that swerves through loss, love, trust, betrayal, art, science, society and control. Blurbing PLY is like trying to blurb a dream." David Mitchell

Diaz is juggling an ambitious plot and thorny philosophical questions, yet the novel remains compulsively readable, carried along by intricate worldbuilding and strangely gorgeous evocations of ruin.... By the novel s end you will believe, like our heroine, that the cracks and fissures in every building and street [are] the sign of something wonderful hatching. Oprah Daily

"To build a better world, how deeply must we get into the heads of the people around us? A brainy, challenging, and engrossing trek into a battered but unbeaten future." Kirkus Review (STARRED REVIEW)

Diaz brilliantly envisions how love, trust, and loyalty can remain when freedom and justice have collapsed and makes every page exhilarating and meaningful. Library Journal (STARRED REVIEW)
