The Men, by Sandra Newman

Such a bizarre, yet spellbinding, read. One day, one second, all of the men in the world disappear. All men, all male children, all ages, all people with Y chromosomes…empty stadiums and board rooms, police stations, airplane cockpits and road crews. What transpires is part idealistic world, part dream sequence, and lots of female stories - survival stories from before, survival stories after, and the meshing of the two in a fascinating look at what would be.
