Odds Against Tomorrow Overview

The novel, Odds Against Tomorrow, is set in what might be described as either a near future or a possible present. It tells the story of Mitchell, a young man struggling to cope with both a deep-seated fear of natural disasters and a set of circumstances that arises when such a disaster hits. As it describes Mitchell’s efforts to make his way out of a devastated New York City, the narrative explores themes related to the nature and qualities of fear, risk, obsession, and the relationship of them all to the ethics and practices of business.
