Omschrijving
Shortlisted for the 2020 Orwell Prize
"Thrilling…A topical and deftly satirical novel." —Anna Mundow, Wall Street Journal
"Unputdownable. It’s 1984 for our times."
"A harrowing, brilliant, and troublingly plausible vision of the future."
"Gripping.… Few readers will stop until they reach its final page."
"It’s not clear what it will take to finally convince us that it’s time to panic about climate change, but works of fiction such as The Wall have an important role to play."
"A novel that ranks alongside Margaret Atwood’s Oryx and Crake and the oeuvre of Kim Stanley Robinson as a fictional meditation on what climate change may mean for the planet."
"A powerful thought experiment."
"An unsettling, compulsive and brilliant portrait of powerlessness."
"Bold and confident fiction that highlights the current American and British issues of Trumpism and Brexit. It also examines the increasingly wide social and political divide of the young and the old."
"As in all good dystopian fiction, Lanchester shows us a world that could become a reality… [He] maintains measured, elegant prose–creating an assuredly human dystopian novel."
"Highly relevant."
John Lanchester is the author of five novels, including The Debt to Pleasure and Capital. His books have been translated into more than twenty-five languages, and he is a regular contributor to The New Yorker and the New York Review of Books. He lives in London.
