This brilliant classic of speculative fiction imagines the aftermath
of an extraordinary global occurrence that forces Earth’s men and
women to exist in parallel dimensions Like every other family, the
Gaunts are devastated by the unexplained phenomenon that occurs one
Tuesday afternoon in February. In an instant, every female on Earth is
mysteriously transported to a different plane, forced to live apart
from the males, who have been left behind. Suddenly trapped in two
parallel realities—with the bonds of love, trust, sex, and stability
that formed the foundation of their relationship abruptly
severed—Bill and Paula Gaunt must separately reexamine who they
truly are and what they are capable of as existence itself becomes a
struggle in one world that descends into violence and brutality, and
another that is soon plagued by famine and despair. Originally
published more than half a century ago, Philip Wylie’s provocative
science fiction classic remains a masterful work of intelligence and
imagination. The Disappearance is a breathtaking, thought-provoking
exploration of gender roles and expectations that reveals stark truths
about who we are as men and women—and as the interconnected members
of a fallible human race.
