The White Lake is a novel in development by Anthony Dobranski.
What’s it about?
In an extreme-sports boomtown,
On the shores of a toxic waste that endlessly makes diamonds,
A high-class empath sex worker discovers a conspiracy that could change the world —
And that he himself is the key to it.
A fast ride to a brutal future,
an Old World with New Weirdness,
a story of survival and hope told with style and brio.
The White Lake
It’s gorgeous. It’s deadly. It’s got robots.
Tell me more about it
It’s a fun edgy mix of solarpunk and New Weird, set in the worst and richest place in the world.
This site is about the novel and about its world. No excerpts, but story and backstory, which will keep expanding. It’s great fun to step back from the needs of the narrative and just be a travel guide to Pest and the White Lake.
I’ve divided this area into two sections:
Welcome to the White Lake, a small wiki for the world of the novel,
and,
Writing the White Lake, about the book’s creative and professional progress.
